We have experienced another hard week of gun violence in America. For me, it has been a week of intense emotions – heavy emotions as well as joy and hope. How do we escape the doom loop? How do we stop partaking when it is dished up to us from all sides of the media and culture that we swim in?

Our First Week

It has been a week of new experiences in every aspect of our lives! Before the students joined their host families, there was a spontaneous, and very moving rendition of the hymn “Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow.” With more exploration around the city, as well as some processing time, we have been settling in to host families, learning more Spanish, navigating bus routes, and listening to guest speakers on Ecuador history and religion. Students jumped in whole-heartedly; including a pick-up soccer game at Parque Carolina with Ecuadorans!
