finished Spanish Language School,
lived with Host Families,
moved from Antigua to Chimaltenango,
went camping in Chichicostenago
{and here went Splunking, crazy swinging, and marvelled at the vastness of God}
learned about Mayan cultures and customs,
did some shopping in all these places,
and overall have barely had a second to breathe.
My road trip to El Salvador went very well; it was a lot of driving, however this provided ample time to chat it up with some interns and directions. This conversations where very thought-provoking and needed. I was able to connect with the man (and his family) from the foundation that my team will be partnered with when we do our practicum in March/April. What the foundation and what he is doing is wonderful and their base is working with kids. When I heard this I was super excited. They start with the kids then they work their ways into the family then eventually into the community. I am excited to do our practicum here; there are a lot of lessons we can learn from the foundation.
Spanish School finished on Thursday with a written and oral exam, which I believe went well. I haven't got my marks back yet, but I felt confident about how I did. Spanish is coming along ever so slowly but surely. Just need to memorize and keep repeating the verbs. Spanish has tons and tons of verbs.
This last weekend, Discover went CAMPING. Yes, camping in Guatemala. It was slightly chilly time, but a time where we could relax. Take pictures, swing, and go on the zip line or splunking. Some of the camp stuff guided us through a sweet cave, where we only had a few flashlights and torches. This weekend gave Discover some time just to relax and have some fun.
It feels like we have been on the go for quite some time now. Today we had a bit of a day off so we feel more prepared for the week. The next coming weeks are said to be busier than the last few so we will just keeping plugging along; eating beans, getting full nights sleeps, eating rice and practicing our Spanish. : )
