The First Few Days

The first few days have been filled with a lot of information and getting to know the city. I'm really glad I went with an organization. It's been so helpful! The first couple nights we were in a nice hotel with a heater which I didn't know how much I appreciated until I came to a hostel today without heat. It's 40 outside and feels every bit of inside. I should have brought my winter coat! You think it's cold in winter in Chicago but you can actually get away from it. Here it is cold ALL the time. I'm hoping it passes quickly. Besides the cold, I'm really enjoying the city. The Andes overlook it and are gorgeous! I start the orientation program for the teaching program on Monday and it runs all week. Tommorow is our first free day and I'm not sure what I'll do, but maybe some exploring! Hope all is well with everyone back home!

Thanks for your prayers!
