New changes and a fun weekend!

(me and Carol....My new roommate!!)

This past weekend was a weekend of change and a lot of fun! First....on Saturday I moved out of my house and in with a family from my church here in Guatemala. They are such a blessing in my life and I am so thankful that they were so willing to let me move in with them. I am sharing a room with the oldest daughter of the family Carol. She is lots of fun! We have stayed up late every night talking!! I really like living with a family...don't get me wrong I enjoyed living on my own, but there is just something different and special about living with a family. I am excited to live with a Guatemalan family and learn even MORE about the Guatemalan culture. I know it will be good for my Spanish, because even though all of the 3 kids of the family who are my friends speak English...I am still around Spanish everyday! It's just nice having a family!

Last night after we were all done eating we had a little devotional time and time praying for each other. In that moment I just thought about how blessed I am, and how wonderful God is. He has provided so much. Way more than I could have ever imagined...I still think I am trying to understand it all, but God is so good! I am so thankful for everything He has given me and provided for me.

On Sunday and Monday (Monday was a holiday in Guatemala) I went to Panajachel (a town located on Lake Atitlan) with the Mata's (the family I live with), Mariu, Andrea, Pablo and David. It was a lot fun. It was really nice to get out of the city and enjoy being in nature and seeing God's creation! It was nice to just relax and hang out with friends. We walked a lot, took a boat to a beach and swam in the lake. It was just a good, fun relaxing weekend!

I just want to thank God for everything He is doing in my life, He is providing so much and so much more than I could have ever expected. It's all about having faith, even when it's hard to!
