World Traveller

Hey guys!
Sooo, I went to Guatemala over reading break! And it was interesting...hah I don't really know what to write about it! umm, I went down with my mom - we were visiting my brother. Kyle's there for three months with his school program with Prairie Bible Institute. While there, we were staying at Guatemala Bible Seminary in a city called Chimaltenango. It was good to not be in a touristy town, so I got to experience 'normal' Guatemalan life. We did go into Antigua a couple of times which was fun. I learned the art of bartering. We went to a school and "taught" English to the kids. That was a long, hard day! We also went to a children's home (for kids whose (usually) single parent cannot take care of) and did stations there. That was fun. I befriended one little indigenous girl who lived at the Seminary. She is probably about 8 years old. Her name is Feve (pronounce feh-VAY), and she speaks no English and I speak hardly any Spanish. hehe it was great. I wish I spoke more Spanish...so that was tough. It wasn't a relaxing trip at all, but despite its toughness and awkwardness at points, it was a great experience! I was very happy to get home though. Next time, I will go with someone who knows more Spanish than me *cough* Melissa *cough* haha, yup we're gonna be world travellers together next year - anyone else wanna come? Well here are a few pics. More are on my blog if you're interested...
