WTF No Yogurtland in Ecuador

I am super jel that there is a yogurtland there! My trip has been amazing so far. Rather than tell you all about it over the blog though, you guys should just look at my blog :)
It has to be on private because of the strict photo policy but just facebook me your email address and I can add you to the people who can view it. I can't believe you guys got assigned to be roommates! That's a crazy coincidence. I'm so excited for you two though! How are classes?? I thought I knew Spanish pretty well until I got here. I can sort of communicate but people mumble so much and it's really difficult to understand. Plus kids that speak English are hard to understand, so Spanish-speakers are even worse for me. But the little niƱos are soooo much cuter than any white baby I've ever seen. Sooooo fat with full heads of hair! It's positively great. One girl here that I immediately clicked with is named Leslie and she and I are sups tight. She totes uses abbrevs too! Match made in heaven. And we made a workout plan together starring Jillian Michaels. It's great.
Jenna, how are you?? How is Provo? Wedding plans coming along nicely?? I hope everything is going great for you and Bean in your new apartment. I miss you both a ton!

Hey we made it!

Hey Jenna and Melissa,

Lindsey and I made it to Jerusalem and we are having a great time. We were assigned to be roommates and we got to sit next to each other on all of the flights! Which is awesome and we are loving being together.  We are pretty tired but we walked around the old city and toured parts of Jerusalem. We have 2 other roommates and we have met one so far and she is really cool. We can't believe that we are here!! It is just starting to hit us.
Melissa today we went to the new Jerusalem area and they had a Yogurtland and we immediately thought of you! Tomorrow is the Sabbath for us so that will be interesting.
Our classes begin on Sunday and we have most of the same classes.
How are you guys? I hope that all is going well and you guys should update the blog so we know what is going on! We miss you guys and love you!
