Well I am finally back at the Home!! :) this week I'm more trying to figure out where I fit and what all i should be doing/ways I can serve. Its good. Spanish is getting easier. I can kind of have conversations now but my vocabulary is very limited and its hard. The kids are easier than the adults though to talk to. Sometimes I feel like learning spanish is affecting my english haha. not a good thing, but its ok. lol I'm excited for the things the Lord has for me here... :)

Thank you for all your prayers :)

Please especially pray:

-that I can figure out more what I am doing day to day.

-for the kids- that the Lord would use me(or anyone really) to help change hearts and help

them grow in relationship with God.

-for my grandpa- he has lung cancer and its pretty bad. pray for healing and that the Lord

would give him strength to continue on.

Thank you all again for praying!!! I really appreciate it

sorry i havent updated in a while. there hasnt been too many exciting things happening lately. I mostly do the same things every day. language school in the morning, reading, exploring, random things in the afternoons and evenings. I cant go out at night alone so that is pretty limiting, but last weekend i was able to go out with some of the other students from the school. it was a good time.

a few weekends ago i got to visit the orphanage for the weekend and just chill and relax out there. Played with a couple of the girls which was just so fun. Jeni and Alejandra. they are 6 and 7 and they are crazy, cute little girls. :) the picture is of Jeni. She is quite a crazy one. Love her tho.

This is my last week at the language school. Friday or so I will be going back to the orphanage. :)

well i haven't posted in a while and i apologize for that. It has been quite a hectic few weeks here. We have had a lot of teams coming and i just want to spend every possible moment with the kids a lot of times. :)

This week is semana santa(holy week) here in guatemala so the kids dont have school. monday we went to this nice pool/hot springs thing, which was a lot of fun. i loved it. very beautiful. we are also having the NLCH olympics which is just a ton of games and competitions. it has been a lot of fun, and i have had some really good conversations with the kids this week. its good. tomorrow we are going to have a mud pit tug of war, which i am super excited for. it is going to be a ton of fun :) today as well as yesterday the guys decided to throw me in the little swimming pool that we have for the week...twice...well that is, two different days...funny guys... my spanish is getting better. i thnk i might have had a partial dream in spanish last night. i at least think i talked in spanish, so that is a super excited thing to happen. but yes. i enjoy this language. it is wonderful :)

sorry this is super short and undetailed. hopefully more to come soon. :) thank you for the continued prayers
