Antique Again

    We went to Antique again this Saturday, maybe our fourth time since we have been here in Guatemala.  We went up on a hill overlooking Antique where there is a large cross. You look down over the city and the volcano Agua is just behind, Great View!!  We could see the top of the volcano which was lucky, many times it is covered with clouds.  

 

     The second picture is in the city at one of the streets where vendors have lined a street with their wares. The area with the cross is just above on the hill where there is a clearing.  Shoe shining is still a big thing here and you often see a boy with a kit in hand walking along the street.  Here in Antique we saw a line-up of several, all busy.

 

    Next picture:  Is this a tree or not?  

 

     And last but not least...There are many buses here that we can see that came right from the USA.  This is the closest one from home we have found.

    

 

    Dad had to give a talk in Spanish again this Sunday in Sacrament meeting.  He is getting really good, this calling at the CCM has him always working on something.  Soon though, his file of talks will be large enough that hopefully he can begin repeating. He had interviews today with several of the missionaries that are leaving Tuesday and heading to their mission.  Wednesday, we get a new group of about 100 and Thursday we do dental screening for about 70 of them.  We are assigned to help the Pablo District each Sunday for six weeks and then they leave and we get a new group.  Today was week three. There are eight Elders and two Hermanas and they are a great bunch of kids.  Elder Carter's father came down here on a humanitarian mission many years ago when he was just a boy.  The plane crashed and only a couple of people lived through it, his father did not. So, when he got his mission call to come to the same country his father died in, it was something he had to get used to. He is the dark haired one sitting down, second from the left and he seems to be doing pretty good here so far.

   No rain today!   Maybe the rainy season is slowing down, I am looking forward to it!
