Wednesday Morning....

Ahhh, it's amazing what a shower and good night's sleep can do for a person. We were welcomed last night by Daniel and Kara Harris at the airport. We got to the children's home with little welcome notes from kiddos here and a sign on our door. The neighborhood rooster who has no sense of time welcomed us at 2:30 this morning - he realized that was too early and stopped about 3 :) The kids begin school each morning at 7:30 - we were woken up with music this morning and the sound of kids playing. Right now just outside of our door some girls are learning a dance so "Open the Eyes of My Heart, Lord"

They're are 3 girls who are spending 3 months here this fall. We met all of them in Dallas as we were all on the same flight to Guatemala. This morning Daniel & Kara gave us all a tour of both properties. It was so fun to see some of the kids and workers around here. We got to walk around our apartment too! They are doing some finishing work on the inside and should be completely ready for us to live in once we finish language school.

Thank you so much for praying for our travels yesterday. We still have yet to have a drop of rain from the hurricane, our flights were good flights (with extra seats on our flight to Guatemala), all of our luggage got here - no problems at all. Today is a low-key day for us. We're pretty much free until lunch today - that will be the first time we get to see all of the kids.

I'm glad you made it alright, and that Felix hasn't intruded just yet. :) Enjoy your time with those kiddos!
