Happy Birthday Mom!
I realize it has been a while since my last post. Perhaps a brief update is needed:
I have been teaching English at a public school in a village located about 45 minutes from where I am staying in San Juan Comalapa. School only lasts from 7:30 to 12:30, so my afternoons have been free to conduct interviews. After finally conducting an interview with the local Evangelical pastor, I learned that his church consists of only 24 people. Of these 24 people, 10 are children and the rest are mostly women. Of the few men, not a single one had migrated to the U.S. Soon, it was either time to reevaluate, or get really sick. I got really sick . . . twice.
Now that I am on the mend (and 10 pounds lighter) I think it is time to do some reevaluating. The question that I must begin with is “What am I learning?”
In the following posts, I will explore particular themes. These themes make up part of what I am learning while here in Guatemala. They focus heavily on my faith and are therefore very personal.
As always I welcome feedback of any kind.
