First Stop Antigua, Guatemala!

Welcome to my Blog! I hope you will follow along with all that I am doing over the next couple years. Please feel free to comment, add things, or send me a message I would love to hear from you as well. Enjoy!

I made it to Antigua Guatemala safely and am starting to find my place here for the next 4 or 5 weeks. Today was the first day of language school which went really well, my teacher is impressed by how much i already know and is helping me with the "medico" terms I should know. I am going to tour a hospital in town to see if I can volunteer/shadow there in the afternoon when I am done with school. It will help with my Spanish and will be great for me to see how things are done in suramerica. The whole volunteer team is here now in Antigua and we all mesh together very well. We had a great discussion last night over "coffee cake". I really like where I am staying now because three other Finca volunteers are there but they will all be going to host families next week. The food is wonderful for lunch today we had papas and guacamole, though very different from what we are all used to. Hopefully this weekend I will get to see more of Antigua, yesterday after getting in the other volunteers showed us around but the roads here are very uneven so I spent most of it looking at my feet! Most of my fears are dwindling regarding the school, meeting the other volunteers, and safety. I am getting ready for the Finca and am excited to start my job there! After 4 or 5 more weeks here (once we have learned our Spanish) we will all head to Honduras together and start our orientation at the Farm. Please keep us all in your prayers.
