Translated, this says we are supposed to dispose of our toilet paper into the little basket beneath the sign- something we had to do wherever we went in Guatemala because if we flushed it, the system would be messed up.
I love the contrast between the clouds and the landscape
Cowherds
Cows!
This flower was outside our hotel, and I couldn't resist adding my own personal touch to the natural beauty of God's creation!

Peddlers would flock to traffic jams in hopes of getting some good deals for there merchandise.
In Guatemala City- Bethany and Hannah had some tracts their Dad had written twenty years back in Spanish that they used to minister to people such as these.
Mount Agua (volcano)- it has a lake in it!
If you look in the middle of the background of this pic, you will encounter a puff of cloud. That's actually smoke coming out of the volcano that's lowly active!
Este buena? We added just about everything possible into that little plastic cup!
Coca Cola bottles!
Our hotel in Huehuetenango!
It is really difficult to believe that this trip is half over. In so many ways, it has only begun! Today, we bused over to Huehuetenango, which took us through a few topsy-turvy roads where we literally had to brace ourselves to remain in our seats. Some of us tried to sleep, but most could only closetheir eyes against the rolling.
We did see some pretty cool geographical features, however, including four or five volcanoes. One was always active at a minor level.
Although the roads were terribly curved, by the grace of God we all made it here to safety. After checking into our hotel and devouring our scrumptious lunch, arvid took a few of us and led us through a marketplace. This was interesting, especially because it was maintained upon a rough stone floor and was basically under a simple roof. We had to walk for at least five minutes through the outskirts of the building before we arrived in the market itself.
When we had traversed that completely and come back up to the hotel, Laura, Adrianna, Hannah, Abbygayle, Kris-Ann, Jodi, Raymond, and I went for an adventurous stroll down some streets and elicit from them whatever memory we could. Unfortunately, we didn't find much else interesting save for a stop sign with the Pepsi symbol on it and some women making tortillas by hand. They'd take some dough, pat it out in their hands, then lay it to cook.
As for yesterday, we had John and Diana (the two missionaries we met), and then pulled in Tim Carey (another missionary) to share with us about his time on the field. Arvid talked to us for about an hour and a half, and then we went to eat.
That's all for today!
In Christ,
