6 cosas por 6 semanas

hola! Estoy bien, gracias a Dios. Tengo 6 cosas en particular que quiero decirles.
1. Ayudo en una escuela en las tardes. Estoy ayudando en una aula de tercer grado. Me encanta mucho! Hay una chica de otro aldea que habla Quechi. Entonces ella no entiende mucho de las lecciones. La ayudo con dictacion y aveces tarea. Durante recreo ella le gusta leer libros conmigo. Ella no habla con los otros estudiantes pero ojala algun dia si.
2. Vi una procession de cuaresma hoy. Es muy interesante. Es casi como Semana Santa pero me dijeron que la procession de Semana Santa es mas grande! Hoy todos estaban vestido en morado y cargando el imagen de Jesus. Tambien tocaba un banda y todo.
3. Hay otros estudiantes de Canada que vienen hoy. Y tambien Margie se va manana. En una semana necesito cambiar cuartos porque hay mas chicas que van a venir tambien. Es un casa grande con todos los cuartos que van a estar llenos en dos semanas!
4. Fui con un grupo de Jackson con Deanna a ver una fabrica de Jade. No sabia que Jade viene en tantos colores!
5. Mi novio viene pronto. Bueno, proxima semana. Estoy muy muy emocionada a ver alguien de los estados especialmente mi novio!
6. Fui a Coban la semana pasada. Algunos de mis fotos estan en mi otro sitio web. No tenia mucho tiempo a poner mas. Coban en mas en las montanas y muy hermosa. Nade en un lagoon de Semuc Champey, y camine en una cueva muy lodoso. El agua era rica por nadando! Y muy hermosa. Cuando llegue a mi casa aqui, me dolian mis piernas porque camine muchisimo en las montanas.
Eso un poco de que estoy haciendo estos dias. Les cuida!

Helllo all! Below are just a few things I have been doing lately.
1. I saw a mini processional today. People were dressed in purple and some even walking beside the image of Jesus dressed as Roman soliders. I can´t even imagen how big Sem,ana Santa will be. I guess every week there is a church who puts on a processional until Semana Santa. Its pretty neat.
2. I am helping out in a school. I am helping in a third grade classroom. I am really helping a girl who is from a village that does not speak Spanish. She knows quite a bit of Spanish, but when the teacher dictates the lesson she falls behind. Since students have to study from the dictation they wrote in their books, she does poorly on tests. so I am working on dictating sentences to her. During recess she likes to read books to me. She has even gotten to the point of asking me questions which she has not done to other teachers. So we need to work on that a little as well. In a way I know what she is going through because of my experiences in Peru.
3. More students are coming! There is a mother and daughter coming for the week. and another student, Margie, leaves early tomorrow morninng.
4. I visited a Jade Factory with Deanna and a group of students from Jackson whom Deanna knew from her church in the States. It was fun to spend the Saturday morning with them.
5. Jonathan is coming down next week! I am super excited. We will get to spend the afternoons together by exploring the city and maybe even climbing the volcano. We shall see. Its exciting to see someone and share Guatemala with someone else from the States. Its great my fiance can experience a little of my new world. Pray for safe travels.
6. I went to Coban last weekend. It was really fin. It was a 5 hour drive to the north. I have a few pictures uploaded already. I went swimming in a lagoon as well as hiked in a muddy cave, and in the mountains in search of a Quetzal (natyional bird). My legs told me how much I walked Monday mroning. I had a lot of fun.
Well, that is a little of what I have been doing lately. Heading into week 7!
