I'm Speaking for LEGO® Education!
The day has finally arrived.
Ecuador, here I come!
Our team will be distributing boxes in schools, churches, and orphanages in and around Quito, Ecuador.
This week is National Collection Week! All of our boxes have been taken to a local relay center and (as I expected) we have already been blessed on our side of the box.
It's not unusual to hear stories of one person packing 50 boxes. We heard of a church in our area that packed 2,000 boxes!
Another woman we met at the relay center was the coordinator for her church. She told us about their packing party, and how she set a timer and every time it went off she would say, "Stop and pray!" and all those packing would pray over their boxes.
My sense of humor has surely been tested this week.
My heart has grown 1,000 times bigger.
The first week of my 42nd year of life was surely full of surprises, obstacles, and unexpected blessings.
It's best if I start at the beginning.
