Another week...another blog

So it's been a little while since we've blogged, here's the latest update. Not too much has happened.

When we got back from our Thanksgiving break a group of journalists from Denmark were studying at our school. We knew before we left that they would be studying there for 2 weeks. We knew that meant for us the possibility of our teachers having different students. Staci was able to continue studying with her teacher, however, Lee's teacher had a Danish student so he studied with Lydia. At the end of the week Lee had the option of changing back to his original teacher - he has chose to stay with Lydia. Both of us are studying the "subjunctive" modes of spanish right now - it's difficult, but we'll get there.

A funny thing about school is that the teachers have discovered Lee's knowledge of biology. Teachers are bringing various insects, spiders, and whatever other beasts they find in their houses to school. (Not by Lee's request) They are so kind as to even give us these glorious things. So far, there have been several discussions of brown recluses and he has been gifted spiders, centipedes, and another thing called a solpugid a.k.a sun spider. It doesn't appear as though this string of gifts is going to end anytime soon. Staci's teacher has placed cups in every room of his house for easy catching.

We had a fun visit this weekend with Don Archer from Spearman, TX. He was visiting his brother who lives in Guatemala City, and was so kind to find us, and then come to Antigua for an afternoon visit. We enjoyed lunch with them, and a nice walk around the city.

Please continue to pray for us as our plates are full with being newly married, learning a new language, living in a foreign country and all of the things that come along with those elements.
