Moi Bonita Guatemala!

Team is good... Guatemala is moi bonita! I'm working in an orphanage/school in the mornings in the kitchen. I chop thousands of peas... serve up atol to the kids... mop, sweep, wash dishes literally for two hours straight... yes, I do. Then I get my coffee and walk home slowly, usually worshiping and praying. After lunch I rest for a few minutos and then jet to the hospital. I work at the hospital with the abuellas! It's the first thing I actually want to take pictures of... these ladies are precious! Hilarious! I get so much joy from this. One lady in particular, Donya Alejandra, literally hates me... she yells at me every time I come near her. It's actually funny to me because I know she doesn't mean it. Most of the ladies are wonderful to me.
Due to my lack of Spanish, I've started learning to draw. So I take my pencils, markers and paper to the hospital and draw pictures of the abuellas... then I show it to them and let them color it! I didn't realize they liked them until I saw all my pictures taped up on the wall in their common area. Precious.
I've also found that drawing is a good conversation starter... as I sit in the park I draw and people come up and ask what I'm doing, am I an art student, etc. and it's a great segue into conversation.
So, God is good. I feel more useful at last and am very content in my daily life here in Antigua.
Dios la bendiga!
