We made it ok, it took
17 hours to get here! Boy were we tired! We started our day at 3am in Prove,
got to the airport only to find out we had to wait 2 1/2 hrs because our flight
was delayed. Got to Dallas waited another 1 1/2
hrs then 3 hr 20 mins to Guatemala
Today we got up at 7:15 am to get ready for church only to find out the time was different... It really was 6:15 am! Boy I lost a whole hour :(
Church was fun we went to the ward the Call's go to and there were several people who spoke English to us. That was nice, I could only understand a little of the lesson and talks but it will come. The chapel is currently serving as our mission offices until they finish remodeling the building they usually use, so we know how to get there J.
The Call's have 4 guests here form the states that come to help in the dental clinic. They are really nice. They asked us over to have cheese and crackers for a snack. And the missionaries had a welcome BBQ to welcome us and another couple home. It was on the roof of our building where they have a patio with nice tables and chairs and a serving counter. It was fun to meet everyone and spend a little time getting to know each other. They also gave us safety ideas telling us when and how to get around the city. Apparently it is not safe to ride in the car with the windows down because you could get held up. So different from home…

The mission Pres. Wife had
our kitchen ready for us to have breakfast in the morning and later today Elder
Smith will take us shopping. Then in the future we will be able to go on our
own.
They have really made us feel welcome and at home. The weather is beautiful 75 but cloudy with a small breeze which we need to keep out apt comfortable.
This is a beautiful place and we will share our pictures with you, and yes Jon we took more than just out the car window…

Love you all, miss you.
Look forward to you emails. J
Can't wait for photos!
ReplyDeleteYes, look forward to photos and continued updates! My mom likes to watch House Hunters International and it seems a lot of apartment (and other) buildings have rooftop patios and they look beautfiul! Glad the weather is beautiful...we are about to have a little more valley snow tomorrow! :(
