Making arrangements for language school

Well, we dropped off the team from Leduc, Alberta this morning and returned to Antigua. We spent the afternoon checking out all of the arrangements for our 2 weeks of language school. Jon and Chris Loewen, friends of ours from Kamloops, have a time share they offered us for a hotel in Antigua. When we finally found it, we were blown away! It is a beautiful hotel with all the amenities. Our room is not a room at all - it is a suite, with a living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. We are going to be totally spoiled. I am really excited to be able to prepare our own food, as eating out in this country long term is generally not good for the tummy!

We also stopped by the language school where we had booked on line, and I was really thankful we did. It was on the opposite end of town - not in walking distance from the hotel - and it didn't look at all like it did on line. We cancelled those arrangements and went in search of a school we found a year and a half ago. It is located on Calle Espiritu Santo - Holy Spirit Street! It is only a few minutes from our hotel and we had the opportunity to discuss the program with someone there and feel really good about it. It is also cheaper than the other school. God is so good!

Rocky hasn't been feeling so great today, so he is resting. We are thankful for the time to rest and to check things out for our classes. Although our Spanish has improved this year, we need so much more! I hope our brains are ready to be stretched!

Marshal arrives tomorrow - yeah! We are really excited to have him come and see where we live and what we do. There is a doctor here right now running some medical clinics, one of which will be held in Pombach. We are hoping Marshal will be able to go along one day and take some photos. Arryn is really excited about taking Marshal to school with her. Her Prepa class at Chijacorral has prepared a little surprise for him. After spending a week with us in Tactic, Marshal will be coming to Antigua with Rocky and I and doing 1 week of language classes before he takes off to explore Central America.

Well, I'm going to go wake up Rocky and see if I can convince him to get something to eat.

Blessings,

Karren
