Half Way!

This is the half way point. I am five months into my 10 months here in Guatemala, and I am finished 2 of 4 school semesters. Yes, I made it through another crazy couple weeks of giving and marking exams. Looking back on the past 5 months makes me smile. It's been good in so many ways. I've learned a lot. I am convinced I still learn more Spanish every day. My teaching has improved, both in planning, testing, and in the classroom. I also feel a lot closer to God with devotions every morning and through the book I have been reading: "Drawing Near" by John Bevere. And as I look ahead to the next 5 months, I am excited. I want to do, try, and learn even more than in the past 5 months. I want to make the most of every opportunity.
I also want to thank all of you who are reading this for keeping up with my adventure. It means a lot to me to have your support, prayers, and encouragement back home. Thank you.
