ROUND 2

Well, I have officially made it back to the homeland!! Oh how I have missed this beautiful country and the friends that come along with it. Needless to say, it feels good to be back.

Christmas break. It was so good to be home again and see all of my friends and family (and dogs, of course)!! I was surprised to find how much I started missing Guatemala. Something I came to realize very soon in my time at home was was that just because my personal life had changed, does not at all mean my life back at home had changed. And that was a little difficult for me to process. Other than that, being home was nice, especially my bed. :)

I arrived back in Guatemala Tuesday night. Lowell and Cheryl were at the airport to pick me up, and we had time to catch up over some Pollo Compero (my fav fast food restaurant here). I feel so lucky to have such amazing family to share my experience of Guatemala with! The rest of this week has been filled with re-orientation and language school. And oh my word I forgot how mentally exhausting language school could be. So, my afternoons have been filled with (long) naps and pretty much everything else you don't need to use your brain for.

I am currently living in Antigua, so there is so much for us to do during the day now! Yesterday we found a little coffee shop with a pretty cool view. And the best part is, Antigua is filled with these hidden treasures. I am so excited to explore this amazingly beautiful little city!

This view though>

Host family. I am absolutely loving my host family! I live in a cute little blue house right inside of Antigua. My host mom's name is Carolina and she fits right in with us Global Bridgers, attitude and all. She is also an awesome cook, which is a plus. :)

Thanks to all who continue to pray and support me through this journey I am taking on! I am so excited for this upcoming semester and all that God has in store for me and my friends.
