guess what! i got a chill today b-c i was cold for a second!!! its been rainin quite alot... someone said there was a tropical storm or somethin.. i dont know.. i dont mind the rain bc it does make it cooler.. but it does mean more bichos.. which means bugs

heres a recap of some of the week
tuesday.. we went to a deaf and mute school to perform our program.. which conists of 2 songs in spanish, 2 dramas, and one dance.. dont worry im not one of the dancers... i shared a testimony there as well.. it was quite the experience bc.. they read lips..so i spoke slower than i normally do.. and there was a girl that signed for the older ones that understood that.. by the way spanish-guatemlan sign language is diff than american!
also that day we performed our program in central park, zacapa.. we walked around the city telling ppl that we were going to perform.. and believe it or not.. lots of people came! so .. i gave my testimony there as well.. good thing im loud.. bc it is a park and we were in the city.. so i had to be...
we also went to an orphanage that day as well
wednesday... class in the morning... ministry.. mine is going to the nursing home... lunch.. and then VBS! we are kinda limited in our resources here.. so when it comes to planning for VBS my mind had definetely been stretched... our craft this week was rolling up a piece of paper.. putting hair ties around it, taping a whale and Bible verse on it.. and calling it a tool to proclaim the Gospel... o yeah.. we have to do all this in Spanish... the kids seemed to like it though.. haha.. our story was about Jonah.. and how we need to tell others about Christ... hence why we created megaphones.. haha
that nite.. more visitation! afterwards we usually hit up the local tienda.. for things like coke, shaka laka.. choco milk.. cheetos, helado, you know.. the junk food we americans like. o... they sell bottles of soda here.. but you have to return the bottle.. if you dont want to stick around the store that long.. they put it in a little bag.. its pretty sweet to drink coke from a bag..
thursday was a pretty chill day.. we did our program at the school here.. on the compound we stay on.. i was the MC for one.. that was an experience.. in between performance times we filled bags with food to pass out next tuesday and thursday.. 300 to be exact.. we did this beside the main office here... and we like to sing... so the people in the office enjoyed the plethra of music we performed.. but hey.. it makes the job go fast!
and today.. friday! wooopp woop.. some more class in the manana... nursing home..today we played beauty shop as i did more nails and did some hair... lunch.. nap in the hammock! more nursing home...
fact.. in america we typically sweep inside houses and such.. but in guat.. we do it outside.. like today at the nursing home because of the abundance of water.. i went around and swept the water out into the middle courtyard to drain.. we also swept oustide some yesterday too.. it was crazy
after all that we got some cucos.... its pretty much a taste of heaven... the coffee flavored one tastes like a frozen frappucino.. but they come in little bags and you have to bit the corner of one and then suck on it.... aaahhhh.. its sooo goooooood... and only 2 quetzals.... 7.8 i think is equal to an american dollar..

though i have been doing my share of eating.. i ran every day this week... we have been getting up at the ungodly hour of 6.30... this morning was quite nice because as my and my friend were running someone greeted us with the familiar english phrase [good morning[ but honestly.. the view in the morning along the path we run is breathtaking... alot better than the graveyard at home

another scorpion story.. apparently there was one in our room and a girl was going to kill it but missed it.. it then fell off the wall.. possible into another girls suitcase.. and has yet to be found... them girls tore up the room in search for it.. they even had 2 guys go in there .. i guess because guys can see better... but it was never found... haha.. i slept fine and without worry..

tonite we are having a big party apparently.... we are eating legit guat food and we are having cuban music.... should be fun.. tomorrow we are going to a waterfall!!!
hasta luego
