Today is Easter in Guatemala. The catholic here celebrate, not with bunnies and eggs, but with parades and festivities that symbolize the event of that day. For example on Thursday, Friday and Saturday we witnessed floats depicting Jesus' death, mourning Mary and somber music following. Today, Jesus was depicted above an open tomb and the music was cheerful. Tomorrow starts the new work week and I think the streets will be much calmer. We start back school as well and hopefully will be able to start volunteering with a local agency here. We were able to spend the weekend with a friend who lives in Xela and her family. Watched The Vow and left the mountains to spend the afternoon in the tropics. Beautiful, although I think I like the highlands better. Three more weeks planned here in Xela. Pray that God's gospel will be urgent in our hearts to share with the taveler's that we meet and others we come in contact with. That God will put those opportunists in our path and fill our mouths with wisdom. Love
P.S. We have learned the secret to the hot shower!
