Tomorrow will complete our 3rd week in language school. We are both humbled by how hard it is to really learn another language. It's almost like playing the guitar - so many people can play a few chords, but there are only a few who play very well. It's easy to say hello, or to hold short and shallow conversations, but challening to be truly conversant.
The day we flew in so did 3 other girls who are here in Guatemala with New Life Children's Home for a few months. They finish their time in language school tomorrow and will go back to Villa Nueva on Saturday.
We have met and are getting to know several people here who we're spending intentional time with. If you would like specific details, please email us at leemaroonjarvis@gmail.com or stacijarvis@gmail.com.
In other random news, the volcano erupted again this morning as school began :) It's cool to look out and see a huge plume of smoke - look again 30 minutes later and it's gone.
Carlos or Ricardo? That is the question of the day in Guatemala. The finale of Latin American Idol is tonight. Carlos is Guatemalen and is, of course, the favorite around here. It's a bit different in that American Idol in that it's as if countries are competing instead of individuals. It's the "hot topic" around here, and people are spending money like crazy voting for their beloved Carlos.
It's time for lunch, we just got the knock on the door letting us know it's ready....
