Day #2

Hey everyone! =) I'm having a good weekend, very relaxing. i head out to Antigua tomorrow to start my spanish schooling. Yesterday was very chill. I got some much needed sleep and slept for about 11 hours. Liz and I just stayed inside all day, i did go out for a small little walk to see the area. It's so weird to think that on thursday morning there was snow on the ground, and now there is no snow anywhere. in fact, today it was about 25 degrees celsius. I watched a movie that was made featuring some of the ministries the EdT ( Strategy of Transformation) help . It's called Reprarando (http://www.reparandomovie.com/) it completely tore my heart apart and made me want to jump in and help out. I'm definitely going to be bringing a copy home to show friends and family whats going on in Guatemala.

This morning, we headed to Union Church for a monthy lesson type thinger ( yes i know, poor grammar but i dont know what it's called) anyways, i have to admit that the whole time i was completely lost! The only parts i got were the bible verses which i read to myself. From this language barrier it makes me much more excited to head off to Antigua and start these lessons.
We came home and rested for a little while, I myself had a little cat nap. and around 5 Liz and I headed to the supermarket because i wanted to pick up a few things. The store is like a wal-mart, but super crazy, busy and large. After going there we went to the city centre and walked around the square. Went inside the cathedral ( which is absolutley GORGEOUS!!! ), and walked around on a few streets to see the sights.
On our way home, about 4 blocks away the car wouldn't start. It was kinda freaky at first, but after Liz's husband and father showed up, and about a little over an hour or so of trying to figure out the problem the car started and we drove back to their house.

I also want to add that the driving here is CRAZY! I wouldnt dare to drive here because i'm sure i would get 1.lost, 2.in an accident, and 3. very overwhelmed. i thought honduras was bad, but the driving here is scary!!

Anyways, thank you for the prayers and support.

Love Katie
