Week 3

Ok, everyone. Sorry for the last few days off, but we are now in Quetzaltenango (aka Xela pronounced Shayla). Friday we did the touristy thing in Antigua. First we went to a textile mill and then on to a coffee plantation which was INCREDIBLY interesting. For instance: for those of you coffee lovers, medium roast gives you more caffeine than dark roast or espresso. Espresso actually has the least caffeine of the three. Just an interesting tidbit for ya. After that we spent the afternoon in the market and ate at the most beautiful restaurant I've been to for dinner. It overlooked Guatemala City. We told the group from Conroe goodbye and went back home to the office. Yesterday we got a day to rest and hang out at the office and then off we went again this morning! We had our first glimpse of the children at the government orphanage today and it looks like this is going to be a tiring week. We were so so blessed to have such an incredible group last week and it looks like this is going to be quite the change. I have already made a couple of friends. Another Huicho has already taken my heart. Oh how I love this country.

Anyway, I have to admit last week was awful to leave, but the Lord has called us to work in Xela this week, so here we are! Pray that we will have energy and stamina to get through this week fully showing Christ's love to the children.

Please pray that we would be fully here.

That's all for today!
