Congratulations on your new job - and for surviving the recruiting
fair! Particularly so, since you had to brave the Iowa winter. One

Your flexibility and diverse certification has proved you well. I
have heard that Quito is a good school. Enjoy your first overseas
post and keep us "posted" on your adventures and how you are doing!
