We're here!

Travelling less than 20 hours on February 16 and arriving at our new home late at night, we awoke the next morning in to the sites and feel of a new place. Thank God for smooth travels (no problems bringing medicines/equipment in, with a letter from the Guatemalan embassy in Canada!) and safety, and pray for the same for the next few months.
The last few months have been an amazing time of discovering answered prayers. My colleagues agree that finding a locum to cover my practice was pretty much miraculous. Then we also had to find people to stay in our house, and others to look after our pets, a place to stay here in Guatemala; we needed to book flights and make school arrangements, and then get a lot accomplished knowing we'd be away for four months. And it looks like we should be able to get a vehicle for our time here too.
Antigua is a wonderful city that’s been here since shortly after Columbus sailed the ocean blue. It is now prabably the most popular place in Central America to study Spanish... which is what we're doing! So here we are, enjoying the challenges of learning a new language and the rhythms of life in a different culture.
