Life at the orphanage is still wonderful and I love the children here more each day. They are so precious and I just adore them! Also, thankfully, the elementary school english teacher is no longer sick and is back at school teaching her classes. So now I don't have to teach her classes by myself! This week I have been helping a lot in the english classes at the high school. I am really enjoying it! Here are some recent pics of the kids at the orphanage:
For my roommate's birthday, we went up to this huge statue of the virgin Mary. It over looks all of Quito to "watch over" the city. It was beautiful!

| After staring at her from a distance on the other side of Quito, I was amazed at how big she was in real life! |
I also recently went to Guyaquil (the biggest city in Ecuador) with my roommate to spend time with a family that she knows there. It was an amazing weekend! Guyaquil is on the coast so it is really hot and tropical there. Quite a change from being in the mountains in Quito! I really enjoyed hanging out and staying with this family and I will definitely go back with my roommate at least one more time to visit them in Guyaquil and stay the weekend with them.
