Mom arrived last Tuesday, and it has been fantastic having her here in Guatemala with me. She substituted one day for me so I could observe Katie. She's also run errands with me (including a 6-hour jaunt at the DMV), helped me cook and clean house, and just been great to talk to.
Every last Friday of the month we have Acto Civico, or Civic Act, at school. Since we celebrate Independence Day in July, La Senda held an English Civic Act. We showed and explained four tableaus key in American history.
Tableau 1: Our version of Washington crossing the Delaware
Tableau 3: Women's Rights
This month's fundraiser was sponsored by third grade: Hawaiian Day. Lots of leis, hula, limbo, and fruit!

Katie and I wrapped up a 5-week VBS stint. It was small, but I enjoyed spending time with the neighborhood girls who came. We focused on who Jesus is via Bible accounts of his miracles, ending with He is our Savior and sharing the gospel with the girls.

We have a week off from school. Besides taking care of business and trying to plan a bit for fourth quarter, we have some time to relax!
The proof: Mom is here with me! Here, we're in the park in Antigua
Katie's been craving nachos. No better place to go in Guatemala for those than Monoloco.
Mid-water war meeting. We enjoyed playing water balloon capture the flag and then all-out water wars afterwards with the La Senda kids.
