I Can't Forget Guatemala

Well, I made it to Guatemala. This is going to be quite the adventure. Me and Eric flew all night and didn't get in until 1:00 so we missed church. But we were able to go to choir practice and meet a few of the members. I'm excited about what will happen here. We have a lot of great projects we are trying to set up, and it's just a great atmosphere here. There are 13 of us (3 guys, 10 girls) 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and the people are great. It's already been a really great day. We have a lady that is going to cook for us Monday through Friday and her food is great. We are going to go to the orphanage this week and set up some other projects and on Friday we are going to Solala and around lake Atitlan to see if we can help out with nutrition. Aparently it is the worst place nutrition wise. They are so far away from markets that they can only eat fruits and vegetables during the rainy season. Elder Reeder is serving in Solala right now so maybe we'll run into him. But anyway, I'm sure this is going to be an incredible experience.
