So I always laugh alot...and I have had lots of laughs here in Guatemala and with my team... so many... we are all so different, but put us together and we make quite the comedy show... anyway...
Last nite, after cena, we were told we were going to go visit people in their houses. I was a little concerned, because in the US we dont just walk around the town shouting, Hows it goin.. much less would we get invited in to talk and chat.... well thats exactly what goes on here in Guatemala.
My group and I took a road started shouting and lo and behold we went into a house, that had muchos mangos on the front porch... there was a madre and su hijo and hija.. the little boy had come to our VBS, where I spoke in Spanish about Noe... haha.. but anyway he was talking about how much fun he had.. the conversations continued.. together we did pretty good comprehending and responding.. and then along came Susie..
Susie came to visit her friend...so by this time we probably already had 10 people in the little living room...there was half a seat beside me, so i scooted over and invited her to sit beside me... she did.. and the fun began..
Somehow, I, Susie, and mi nuevo amigo Devin from Oklahoma got to talkin about food. We were talking about the tortillas and how they are so good here because they are homeade. It seems like a simple conversation.. but there were alot of terms and vocab me and Dev were clueless!!! This became so funny to us and Susie...then it got the point where when my and Devin were trying to come together in ingles.... but i didnt understand him in my own native language!!! it was crazy.. all three of us were cracking up uncontrollably... after we calmed down some.. she asked if I wanted to learn how to make them tomorrow afternoon. I wanted to make sure I understand her correctly.. and she said yes tomorrow afternoon.. i would insert a question mark here but this computer is crazy.. but neway...I could not because I am going to the nursing home in the town on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons... she asked about Saturday.. and I said okay! Devin is coming too.. I guess...

Once again.. the Guatemalans are so generous and welcoming... I mean, we just met this lady.. and she wanted to buy the ingredients to show us how to make this food...

Im going to a waterpark tomorrow... wooopp wooop!!
hasta luego
