We can get a carmel latte and unlimited internet for about three bucks. Not a bad deal. The signal leaves something to be desired, but you cant have it all. Dinner is served at 7 pm. All of the family is usually at dinner. So far, the portions have been enormous. At almost every meal, we have had to tell them to give us less. We have two teachers, Claritza (who shannon works with ) and Aracily (who michael works with). We are staying with Claritza and her family. Claritza is married to Anibel. They have been married 22 years. They have five kids. The oldest is Fernando, who is married to Carmen. Carmen is the one who cooks all the meals. They have a two month old baby named Marcos. Next is Daniel, who is 20, then Nancy who is 16 and Diego who is 12. There is another son Pablo, but he works out of town during the week so we have not seen him too much.
There is mucho mas to report, but we must leave for dinner. It's a little bit of a walk and it's important to be on time for dinner. Hasta Luego!
I love reading your stories. From Michael's job report at Ray's to this one where you are pursuing God in Guatemala. Missionary adventures are to be treasured and I believe you are creating a lasting legacy. - Mandi
ReplyDeleteI'm curious... when you say go to class, is it like going to a school here, where you are sitting in a room, with a teacher at the front, teaching a large group of people?
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear all is going well. Have you two adjusted to the new time zone yet? What's the coolest (non-american) thing you've encountered over there so far?
God Bless and Protect,

Yes it is exciting following God here in Guatemala. We still arn't sure what the whole plan is here but we definitly feel like God has been directing our steps, all the way down to our host family. every little detail i'm sure is part of the puzzle.
ReplyDeleteAnd lets see, about our classes. No, they are not in a goup we acctually have our own teacher for each of us. it's one on one but sometimes we do stuff together, like our post today there is a picture of us going to the local market here.
and what is the coolest non american thing we have seen so far. wow, that's a tuff one. lol a few things. one is VERY short mayan women carrying very heavy things on their heads. and when i say tiny i mean no more than 3 1/2 feet tall. no joke! and the markets are pretty cool too. and took-tooks. they are little tiny 3 wheel cars that take people all over the city, kinda like a taxi. from Miguel
