A year and a half ago when I was in Ecuador, I fell in love with Riobamba. I loved the quaint structure of the Latin American town, the beautiful spirit of the indigenous people of the mountains, the vivacity of the Pucará Church of the Nazarene, and the adorable children of Nazarene school. I thought to myself, I would love to live somewhere like here and teach in a school like this. There in Riobamba I felt God revealing a glimpse of His plan for me. I cried when I left that town.
The more I've researched Gracias, the more I've recognized that which I loved of Riobamba. I'm going back to Latin America. I'll be living in a curious little town in the mountains. I'm going to teach in a Christian school. God is amazing. I never thought He would allow me to serve in such a capacity so soon. I am so thankful and so happy.
I don't expect the following year to be easy. I expect to be challenged and stretched. I expect adventure and exciting new experiences with new friends. I expect to learn a lot and to grow, and I expect God to work and move — in me, in Vida Abundante, in Gracias, and in the lives of others.
I'm all packed (Somehow I've managed to squeeze a year's necessities into a few suitcases.) and I'm flying to Honduras today. I am beyond excited.
