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.
