I've arrived!

I'm here! I'm in Bolivia! It was a long trip (about 24 hours total) and I'm glad to be on the ground again.
Things I've noticed about Boliva so far in my 7 hours here:
1) drivers are insane here! I've been in 3 taxi's already and all I could do was hold on as we swerved around the round abouts  (I love round abouts!) and swung through traffic without seatbelts. It was quite exhilarating. It looks very unsafe but I actually feel completely safe.
2) I have a lot of Spanish to pick up. Luckily my director knows both English and Spanish fluently so  I'll be able to learn a lot.
3) I met up with Kimberly, one of the student missionaries, in the Miami airport and I like her already. We're both a little tired from traveling and don't really know what we're doing yet. Is this real life? Are we actually living in a foreign country for a year? It's exciting for sure. I can't wait to meet the other student missionaries that are already at Familia Feliz.
4) we're getting 4 more children at our school who are being taken from their homes because of abuse that is happening at home. The youngest is 4 years old. It was so sad to hear about some of the things the children at the school have gone through that no person, let alone a child, should have to go through. With these four children, our grand total will be 76 kids at Familia Feliz! That's a lot of children. I can't wait to meet each one and get to know them better.

Seven hours isn't that long to be here and I still don't know a lot about my next 10 months or what I'll be doing but I'm now more excited than scared about my time here. God's got me and with Him I have nothing to worry about as long as I remember that.
