A girl in Tsunana
Well, I've got 10 days to sum up. Last Friday we took all the new girls up to La Jolla to work more on the stoves. it was a really rainy day though so we got soaked on the fletes. But it was a good day. The people seem really excited about the stoves and they are willing to put in the work to get them. 
On Saturday we got up at 4:00 am to go to Honduras to see the ruins at Copan. It was about a 5 or 6 hour ride. The ruins were pretty neat, but didn't compare to Tikal. It's always fun to spend time with the group though. We only stayed for about 4 hours and then we were hot so we decided to go home. It was a miserably hot ride home though too. 
Sunday was a good day. I love going to church here. Sandra's mom came and so did a whole bunch of inactive people. It was packed! Then at 3:00 I got to go out and work with the missionaries. We weren't able to find anyone home, bit it was still good to be out working. It reminded me a lot of the mission, especially no one being home on Sundays. Monday me, Keri, and Eric took a half day off to shop in Antigua. We found some really neat jade stuff. Then we went to the orphanage. I am really going to miss those babies. Its been neat to see them grow so much in such little time. Edi is so alert and hardly cries now. Monday night we invited the Elders to come over for FHE. Silvia, Radolfo, and her daughter were still there so we invited them to stay. Afterwards we invited them to go to church and they accepted! And they went today-all of the kids except Silvia had to stay home. They Elders also have an appointment to teach them this week!

Tuesday morning we spent getting ready to teach nutrition down in Tsunana, so in the afternoon we went down and looked around. We had dinner at Pana Rock (it's like Hard Rock) and then got up early to go teach. It was such a neat experience. A lot of the kids don't speak Spanish very well so the teacher had to translate what we said into Kaqchekel. The kids had fun though. And it is so beautiful down at Lake Atitlan. 
On our way back to the hotel I stopped in on the missionary's district meeting. Elder Reeder was there. It was neat to see him. He gave the closing prayer in Kaqchekel. I can't imagine learning another language on top of Spanish during the mission. I bought all the missionaries ice cream and Elder Reeder had had some holes drilled into some Quetz to give me and the group coming to travel. What an awesome thing to do.
