note: i will not be capitalizing anything in this post because the caps key is super small and i always miss it.
anyway, i arrived into guatemala safely at about 9 30 on saturday night. i stayed the night at emil´s (one of the missionaries here) house and went to church with him in the morning. around 3 pm he took me to antigua where we went to another church and then i settled in with my host family. there is another girl staying in the room next to me who is 22 and from texas. her name is jazzelle and she showed me around the first night here.
so far i am loving it here. it is very beautiful, from the architecture to the weather. i´ve never walked to school before with a volcano in front of me, so that is pretty cool. the whole town is very ancient looking and it is very small. if i could post pictures i would. just google image search antigua if you want to see though, i´m sure they have better pictures then i do.
i started language school yesterday. i did 10 lessons and i guess i´m only supposed to do like 3 a day so my brain was pretty fried. the food here is awesome. so far every meal has just been me and jazzelle eating and whoever prepared it for us, watching us eat and smiling. we talk to the family but still, i feel like they should be eating with me. nothing so far has happened that has shocked me or made me feel uncomfortable. i guess this isn´t a super exciting blog. sorry.
well, i will try to get into a fight with some people and then write about it.
