DONDE ESTA EL DICTIONARY!!

Hola Amigos,
WOW, so here we are we have had a full week of classes and today was our first day of our 2nd week. It is amazing so far how far we have come. and let me tell you I am very motivated to study, for those of you who know me (this is michael by the way)I do NOT study..lol. my attention span is like that of a 5 year old. But I am inspired( and frustrated) by my lack of ability to communicate. The good news is things are starting to make more sense. verbs are a very tricky part of the Spanish language and the process of how they work is becoming a bit easier. It's really funny to get here and only be able to say hola and bueno. and now i actually have some descriptive adjectives i can use. Well, any ways. Today we got to visit a not for profit organization that helps children, homeless families, malnutritioned kids...and many other services. click here to see their web site
we have our first day this Wednesday working with malnutritioned babies. we will be feeding, changing, and loving one these little guys for about 3 hours. we are very excited, and if possible next week we will get to go on a donation run where we will actually go to some of the local farms around Antigua and help gather crops to be donated. what a wonderful chance to help be the hands and feet of God. we also found a english,spanish church for us to go to this next sunday, totaly excited about that cuz sunday we went to our first service here at a HUGE catholic church by the park. the problem was that we are not catholic so we didn't understand much of what was happening and obviously it was all in spanish.lol so it was a pretty interesting experience.

for a weather update, tropical storm matthew has created a whole lot of rain down here. about 3 times more than normal so that's a lot. i think the worst is over for sure and lucky for antigua that's about as bad as it got for us. i know some places to the east got hit pretty hard. there has been some devastation, but luckily not for us. But it does mean that it has rained day and night for about three days straight now. everything is wet. Looking forward to sunshine!
