Settling In

One of the good aspects about being so awful at speaking Spanish and having to be in language school for so long is that it gives us a chance to settle in somewhere for a while. It seems like forever ago that we were living in our house in Douglasville. Since then, it’s been more than three months of packing-unpacking-packing again, going place to place, living out of a suitcase. So it’s good to know that we’ll be here in Antigua with a place to call home for the rest of the year.

One of the aspects of leading such an unsettled lifestyle for several months is that it’s been difficult to have any kind of regular time/place to pray and make a habit of meeting with the Lord. I’m really thankful, though, that being here for a couple of weeks now has allowed us to find a good spot to do that. There aren’t many students in our school in the afternoons, and the roof has a great view of the city and the volcanoes that surround Antigua. It’s nice to be able to settle in and have a place to pray with my eyes open and pay attention to God’s presence in this city. (The pictures are of the view from the school’s roof.)


Here's a picture of me with my spanish teacher, Harvey.
