Week #2: Getting into the Swing of Things!

This week has been a lot of fun (and work) so far, and things are starting to run smoothly. I feel like I live here now instead of just being a visitor (what up now!). I joined the gym and worked out yesterday (how proud are you of me! I didn't even do that at home...ever!) and today Laura and I are gonna do the pilates class. Things are a lot of fun at the house too, I'm going to mass before school with dona Elvira (the owner of the house) tomorrow, there's a new couple from England staying with us till Sunday, and they're pretty nice. Kala (my roommate) and I are in a constant prank fight with the couple across the hall. They are seriously the funniest people I've ever met. They invited us to their house on their private island in Belize! We looked at pictures, HOLY CRAP!!!! Yeah so I hope that works out at some point, but they want to sell it and Rusty's already looking at real estate here and designing a house. They say it's lonely on the island (I can imagine). Yesterday for the second half of class all the nursing majors and me and our professors went to this old folks home which was really cool. This woman kept hugging me and crying and telling me she loved me and I was such a good friend to her and I had to promise to go back. It's a government funded place and it was actually pretty nice (for Guatemala...it's all relative!) Another man was trying to get me to try and contact someone for him...a family member or something. I think I'm gonna go back one of these days because they're so sweet and have such cool stories and such little help! Well it's time for our bible study thing with the group, so off I go. Miss you all...kisses!

P.S. I'll try and get some more pictures of my "family" up. Also let me know what you wanna see pictures of!
