A classic Guatemalan day

Today we start off with our devotions like we have been doing. We have a great spot for it in the court yard. It’s nice to all get to know each other and fun to have new people here and show them the amazing things Guatemala has to offer. Such as the textiles museum. We got an actual tour this time which made it more interesting and was fun to hear from someone first hand who studies this kind of thing. Each Guatemalan village has their own clothing style and our tour guide has been the one to study that and the way colonizers influenced the clothes. We then went to lunch! I had an amazing grilled cheese and tomato soup for lunch at this really cute restaurant. We also got Nutella coffee and crepes! Then we went back and met with the Milagros girls! We actually got to talk with them more as they each introduced themselves and told us what their experience was coming to the school. Sounds like some culture shock in some cases and homesickness too. But they get to learn a lot and enjoy baking and sewing classes mainly. Then I led us in a craft about the tree of life. It was awkward to do without much Spanish but they were all very good at following and much more precise than us when crafting.Read more
