We arrived in Panajachel yesterday, and after shopping, we drove in another private bus to the house of the founders of the orphanage. They live in the States, so we have the house to ourselves! We have cooks who had fresh, homemade tortillas ready for us when we arrived. SO good! After our snack, we decided we needed to have some people shower so we didn´t all have to do it before church today. Jacob went first, and when he opened the curtain, he found a little friend. A frog! He thought it was a toy at first, but then it moved. He called us all in to see, then he trapped it between to paper plates, took it outside, and threw it as far as he could. Some of the girls were sad because they thought he must have killed it. But we couldn´t find it this morning, so it lived! And Brother and Sister Coleman, don´t worry, because he thought it might have some freaky diseases so he made sure not to touch it :). After that excitement, we all sat around and played uke, sang, and just talked until it was time for bed. We are all in bunkbeds and it is pretty cool!
This morning we woke up and had the most delicious pineapple any of us have ever tasted. Then we walked to church and enjoyed singing with the locals. Only some of us could understand, but it was still really cool. The kids from the orphanage were there, so it was hard to focus because they are so so cute. We get to go see them in a couple of hours, and then work more with them tomorrow. We can´t wait! We hope everything is going well at home and we miss you all.
Love,
Callie, Jacob, Eli
