fractura en mi costilla!

well, so much has happened since my last post, and you will find out why in a minute. We had a week off work and went on vacation. We visited Panajachel near Atitlan and had a great time. The we went and saw Batman (amazing movie, btw). Oh yeah, that means By The Way for you older people :) then we went to a beautiful resort in San Jose, Guatemala for 2 days. About an hour before we were going to leave, I decided to rent an ATV and going driving up and down the gorgeous black sand beach. I was having an amazing time and was thinking about what a ridiculous amount of fun I was having and was trying to spin doughnuts on the sand and crashed and broke a rib. Oh yes, you read that right. So I finally went to the Dr on Monday and he told me I could not work this week after looking at my x-ray, I though I was going to cry. My last week and I cant go to work! Well you probably all know that I dont take direction very well, stayed home two days and went back to work :) With some chemical assistance, I made it through. The last few days we were hard saying goodbye to my friends and fellow summer staff. A lot of tears were shed and hugs exchanged. These people has touched my heart again and I had to leave my heart again in Guatemala. I am on my way home and have been emotionally and physically exhausted for days. I will sleep a lot tomorrow and probably post more experiences and photos maybe tomorrow or Monday. I love you all and thank you for all your support.
Hasta Luego!

On my way to Panajachel

So I am on my way to Panajachel, which is by Lake Aticlan and we are spending the night there. We will be shopping and then returning on Tuesday. This week is our week off and it is jam packed full of fun, fun, fun. On Wednesday, we are having lunch with SI staff and going to Guatemala City to watch the new Batman movie. then on thursday and friday we are going to the beach in San Jose. then the new team arrives on Saturday for one week and then return home. I cant believe it is almost over. So, I got sick again and now am better, I have never been sick so much in my life. I got food poisoning and got violently ill and then was a lot better. thanks again for all your prayers. It has been hard to say goodbye to two teams but I am very excited to meet the last team. I have been doing a lot of shopping so be ready for your thank you gifts....
Love you all

Wolverine

Hello, everyone, I hope you are enjoying the wonderful photos in the previous post. Let me fill you in a little. The guy making the crazy face was Carlos, one of the families I stayed with, and he is being "The Wolverine" ohhhhhh, I know you are saying, LOL. the beds are where I have been sleeping however I have been moved and have a new family I have been staying with. They are incredibly nice and I feel very honored to be staying with them, this is their first year hosting missionaries, so I hope I am being a good host daughter. they have three beautiful boys named Ludwin, 9, Alejandro, 3, and Abner, 18 months. the mom's name is Corina and dad is Edwin, it is fun to call them mom and dad because they are my age!

By the way, I am feeling so much better, no more infections or abcessing, so I am good to go. This new team has been so much fun and although they are different from the last team, the differences are great. I am having so much fun encouraging people to seek God in their work and keep in mind that we are ambassadors of Christ and that they may be the only Christ that some people may come into contact with, so represent him proudly!

I have done a lot of shopping and am looking forward to sharing all my stories and presents with you when I get home.

I am sorry to say that I am not homesick at all, I love it so much here and feel as if I am at home here. I know you will understand. I am so in my element and feel such a peace when I am here.

I love you all and thank you for all you support. See you at the end of August.
