Flexibility

Well, as always, flexibility is the key to mission work. I received a phone call from Ecuador today on the way home from work and found out that I will no longer be placed in South Quito with Patricio Guerrero. Instead I will be placed in an entirely different place called San Carlos which is about 1-2 hours outside of Guayaquil on the coast. I believe, if I found the right one that I'll be just about halfway between Guayaquil and Machala. However, I can't be sure because there are several San Carloses which seems to be the case for the small villages named after Saints.
Anyway, I will still be spending 3 months in Quito for language school at what I believe is called the Latin American Academy of Spanish. I will also be receiving a house placement through that school with a family for the entire time I'm in school. I was told it was that or a concrete building with no floors so I opted for the family. And I do know that my language school starts about 3 days after my arrival and so I'll be staying in the OMS guest house (and I have no idea what that is or where it is).
So while all this means that I won't be doing what I thought I would be, it also means that I'll be getting to move around and see different parts of the country which is nice. Thank you for all of your prayers and support. More to come once I find out more (I should be talking to BJ again next week after he visits San Carlos).
