Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Philippians 4:8

Hola!

Buenas Tardes!
I have been sick for the past two days so i have not been very good about posting. Sorry! :) But I feel alot better now so Heather, Lucas and I went out to lunch at Dona Louisa's and stopped by their bakery to get bread. Oh wait, Lucas wants to write something dfjdjfj oidjfdsifh dujghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhj h g`.
Anyway, it is a nice day here in Guatemala it is probably in the lower 80's and sunny. One thing I was thinking about today as we were walking through the town was how it is kind of nice how there is no Walmart or superstore of any kind here. Usually you go to multiple stores for all of things you need to buy. The closest thing to a mall that they have here is an artisan's market. It is where people have set up booths inside a building and they are there selling different items. Usually though, the building it is housed in is a few hundred years old.
I have been feeling kind of homesick today so I would appreciate emails- :) It looks like I won't be home for at least 3 1/2 more weeks- heather and Lucas might have to stay longer, but I can't be away from work for much more than that.
Through this whole experience I keep being reminded how big and great our God is- Not only did he create a masterpiece all around us, he's blessed us by allowing us to communicate through smiles and body language- even though we might not speak the same language.
I guess that is all for now- I will try to figure out how to post some pictures.
Love, janie
