August 2009

Sorry that we haven’t posted for a while. We have been in Wisconsin for 7 weeks with side trips to Canada and Michigan for fishing and camping. The Canadian fishing went well if you can believe a fish story. We over limited one day because of Karen’s greed and my talented guiding and netting skills for her. We ate Muskie or Lake Trout every day. We are now back in Guatemala and getting back into the routine. Dennis is working on a true to life story for those of you who enjoy those. We assumed to be returning to a month of rainy season; however it only rained once a week instead of daily. While we were home; we received some generous contributions of cash and school supplies. We also did some school supply shopping ourselves making more than 20 trips because of limited quantity per visit.

Lidia (our former student) left for Taiwan on Sunday, August 23 at 7:00 AM; we drove her to the airport and left our house at 2:30 AM (a short night.) She will be in Taiwan for 5 years learning the language and studying.

Reyna will be starting a new job in Panajachel make more money and learning new things.
We have 2 ladies from coming in October for volunteer work in our area.

Sue’s brother Bill and coming in November and Bill and Arlene will be returning in January / February for another visit.

Our friends Guy and Karen will be heading to Guatemala in March 2010 for a week of sightseeing and seeing where we live.

If you are interested in visiting, let us know and we will see if we can accommodate you.

Today in English classes at our house; we had the sister of another girl that comes to class. The sister is 3 years old and is as cute as a bug. We were reading a picture book story in English and Spanish and she wanted to read. She was reading and not making any sense but she was having a great time making a story out of the pictures. It was so cute to watch and listen to.

Dennis and Sue
