Adam and I were sworn in as volunteers...woo hoo! We are now in Loja and have already gone to our first set of charlas (mine on family communication, and Adam´s on how to be good parents). We haven´t really celebrated Adam´s birthday yet (it was yesterday) because we both got back from our agencies late. Maybe tonight! Until then, here are some pictures to enjoy!

Adam and I all dressed up!

We had to sit alpha order so I didn´t get to sit next to Adam...sad!
