Arriving in Antigua was very exciting, but having to leave NLCH and Daniel and Kara was pretty hard! My first night was really awkward because Teryn (another intern who I'm rooming with) and I didn't meet our host parents before we went to bed because they were still at church in Guatemala City. It was a bit weird to be sleeping in someone's house who you've never met! I was definitely scared especially after our little excursion in the city last night...we couldn't find anything! It was very intimidating! I really wanted to just go back to NLCH and skip language school, but I'm so glad that I'm here now! As I lay in bed last night I asked God for protection and for help! I was so afraid last night, but God gave me courage to face my fears of being in a foreign city with people who I met only a few days ago! He calmed my fears about school and gave me peace! My first day of language school was great! My teacher's name is Lucia! We had a good review today of things I've learned, but had forgotten! After school and a pretty good lunch at our host home some of the other interns and I went to the market. That was pretty fun! Teryn and I are also bonding even more! We are about to watch an episode of The Office. She brought the DVD and we're going to play it on my laptop! She said it was a funny show so I'm kind of excited!

For those who may be wondering...YES (!!) her Mother is checking this site and enJOYing "watching" her oldest daughter grow in her faith.
Teryn has Office DVDs? I'm marking intern Office nights at our apartment for every possible time right now.
I'm so happy that you made it safe and sound! I heard about your camera mishap - but am glad to see you were able to borrow a replacement. Learn lots at language school - us Bright Star folks will need all the translation help we can get! I'm praying for you and hoping that God reveals Himself in a huge way while you serve Him there with the kids. Let me know if you need us to bring anything special in July! I look forward to seeing you, D, and Little Red in 5 short weeks!
