This was in Minnesota...
Boys...
They surprised us with a serenade one night...
This was in Minnesota the night before our flight out.
The boys caught a really big spider the first night we were there and the girls stole it. They had to do some things to get it back...Andrew wore a skirt to supper and Brady did his hair up (Noble wrote a poem, Kurt picked flowers...)
Brady was practicing a magic trick the Natin does all the time...
Tonia and I like to jump around...
Stacy and I in front of some of the amazing flowers that we got to wake up to every morning...
General Guatemalan views...
(the domes in the picture is the roof to a mega church that holds about 12,000 people)
This is Antigua. All of the streets within the city are cobblestone and it's so bumpy!
This is Santa Lucia de Jesus. It's a very poor village with a lot of Mayan culture. (that's Tonia too. She stepped in something...)
3 girls from our group worked at an all girls school in Santa Maria. I'm not sure what the did everyday but they had to wash hair for lice once. They all liked getting their hair braided as well.
I worked at a K-9th grade school in a town called Santa Maria. We played with kids during their break time, helped the teachers as much as we could and helped them get ready for a parents banquet they were having. It was neat to see how God used us even though we couldn't really talk to each other. There were only a couple people at the school that knew English and we knew very little Spanish.
These are some of the kids that I fell in love with...
Jonathan - he was a sweet boy. When we were leaving on our last day he came outside and gave me a 5 minute hug. I looked at him when he let go of me and his eyes were turning red like he was going to cry.
...with Stacy...
another Jonathan...
Katy - she was kind of my special friend all week. She was precious. She asked me if I'd remember her when I left.
We played a lot of "pato, pato, ganso" (duck duck goose)
This was after the parent's banquet with all of the teachers.
We visited a handicapped school and this little boy became my friend out of nowhere.
Natin was the master of magic tricks and kids loved him...
Natin and Noble played vicious games of paper, rock, scissors...
We had a banquet one night and Natin got these guys to sing him a birthday song. (he turned 18 the day before)
a Chicken Bus (they are wild)
Natin, Tonia and Stacy
Stacy and I worked out in the Miami airport.
We could see three volcanoes from where we were staying. One of them was active so we got to it smoking once in a while.
I apologize for making this so random and for the huge pictures. I forgot about resizing them after they were scanned.
P.S. Does anyone want to help me move on Monday??
