After much anticipation and preparation, we have finally arrived in Montevideo, Uruguay! Going through immigration and customs was incredibly smooth...only myself (Leah), Jake, and Tayler had their suitcases opened, and after quickly inspecting the bottles of vitamins and the bags of candy, they decided there was nothing questionable after all and sent us all through! Praise God! Rebecca Contreras had everything ready for us, a beautiful bus and a great hotel. She has done an incredible job in preparing for our arrival, thanks girl! We had a nice typical Uruguayan dinner and stopped at the bank to exchange currency. The weather is brisk and cold, that is for sure! But nothing we can't handle. Every one of us is thrilled to be here and very excited for our first clinic tomorrow! Our bus leaves at 6:30 am to take us to our first location, which is about 30 minutes away. We love all of your comments, thanks for writing to us! I leave you with a photo of our team wearing the required face masks in the Argentina Immigration. Just a precaution they do, and we thought it was a great photo op. --Later!
