January 7

Hey guys
I’ve been here for a few days now and things are good. I love the place we’re staying at, love the city of Antigua, and can’t wait to start Spanish school tomorrow. We’ll be going onto the city for some intense one on one lessons. You won’t be able to read this for a while because our internet is down. Hopefully it’ll be running in the next few days.

Yesterday we went up to a town called Santa Maria and painted a new school for handicapped kids. The town is on the side of an old volcano and has the most amazing view of the valley.

Since today is Sunday, we went to church in the city. It is just a little room on the side of the road, with maybe 50 people inside.

Can’t wait to show you pictures of the volcano. It’s been really active lately. Every couple hours we hear this huge rumble. During the day I can see the smoke coming up from the crater and at night I’ve seen lava spraying into the air. Some people are thinking that its going to blow soon.

So, hope you’re all doing well and ill talk to you all soon.

I am glad you made this journey. What an experience. I think you are one of the few who won't settle for a C+ life, but shoot for living out an A+ existence. Many blessings to you and all your friends there ~ old ones and new ones.
