Change is inevitable. Growth is optional

Hello dear friends,   I know, I know, it’s been too long since I wrote my last blog post, one year to be exact. What can I say? I never would have guessed this adulting thing would be so hard. I’m literally typing this post during my lunch break ha-ha. If you want to know what I’ve been up to the past few months. Grab yourself a drink, get comfortable on your couch and get ready. GRADUATION  “The tassel was worth the hassle”   We did it! We graduated! Yes, we did because I would have never done it without your support and prayers. If you are reading this post right now, you were a cornerstone for me during my college years. I hope one day I can give back to you, the so many blessings you have given me.      RESIDENCY/  RURAL INTERNSHIP I graduated back in August of last year but  I'm doing an internship at the moment. Here is a little summary of what a nursing student has to go through in Ecuador in order to become a nurse. After I finis...

Put God first and you’ll never be last

  Dear friends,   I hope you are doing well and staying healthy; this last week was my last week of nursing school. I finished finals and now I’m preparing myself for my FINAL exam. To graduate from college, I have to take a 3-hour exam that has everything I’ve learned in the past four years, I also need to prepare a clinical case study and present it in front of the nursing faculty board. Once I am done with those requirements, I will be ready to graduate. Isn’t it crazy how time flies? I still can’t believe I’ll be graduating in less than two months.    I’m so thankful for all of you who are reading this right now. Thanks to your generosity and support over the past 4 years I am now so close to accomplish this huge goal. I couldn’t have done it without your help and God’s guidance and providence. I know I still have a long road ahead and a lot of studying to do but for now I am cherishing this moment and looking forward to what God has in store for me.   ...

The end is just the beginning

Dear friends,  I hope you are doing as well as possibly during this crazy time. Can you believe It’s been almost four years since I started writing on my blog about my college life and ministry here in Quito? Time does certainty fly. Doesn’t it? Today I start my last first day of class as a college student. It seems like yesterday when I was dreaming about going to college and becoming a nurse. Now, I am really close to become a real nurse and it’s freaking me out a little bit.    A lot has happened since my last blog post. I’ll try my best to catch you up with what has been happening here during the last months.    A Christmas out of the ordinary   I’m sure everyone’s Christmas was different this past year. Maybe you were expecting to spend the holidays with family and friends or had a trip planned that had to be cancelled. Maybe you were thinking about going away to the beach and couldn’t. I know COVID has ruined a lot of plans not just for you and me but...
