Hola!

                                         Me, Elizabeth, Rebecca, and Laura (thanks to Talia the photographer)


Hola!  Greetings from Guatemala!   We're here and safe!  Flying was not bad and it seemed to go really really fast compared to how long it took to Malawi...I don't think anything will beat that haha.  Talia and I were on the same flights and were seated next to each other on our flight from Houston to Guatemala City which was great :).  I can't believe I'm here already!  This morning I woke up and went to the airport and now I'm sitting in another country in hotel with a whole new group of people.  I'm feeling so many things...I'm excited, nervous about the language barrier, overwhelmed (in a good way) of all the new things I saw just between the airport and hotel, anxious to get started at my service placement, so excited to meet my new family but most of all blessed.  It was only 1 year yesterday that I returned from one of the most life changing experiences in Malawi, Africa and now I'm here in Guatemala for 2 months...talk about God being good huh?  Sometimes my desire to see more and do more and travel and add to the list of places I've been can overshadow where I have been and all the places God has blessed me to go.  I am so unbelievable lucky and blessed.  The students who had arrived before us made us goody bags with snacks and things which was so nice to arrive to because for some reason traveling makes me hungry! (haha).  So here's to a beginning of an amazing adventure and I'm excited to see what God has in store for me over the next two months. :) 
Adios amigos. :)
