We started Spanish lessons today and I think everyone is very excited to learn a new language. After spending time at the youth forum and using our few spanish phrases, we re anxious to know more. My class includes Joel, Cass, Trevor and myself. The group is split into different classes based on levels. There are the intermediate crew which include Sarah, Christine and Kathryn as well as the super advanced which is only Tanya!
Now that we ve been to both El Salvador and Guatemala I ve noticed many differences between these countries. Even the weather. The difference in weather from El Salvador to Guatemala is extreme. In El Salvador it didn t rain, but in Guatemala rain is pouring down hard... All the time! The rain hasnt stopped our spirits from being high. We are all bonding very well and are becomign a mini family. I think is important since we have been and are going to be going trhough alot together.
The youth forum in El Salvador was an important time for our group. It was really touchign to meet the youth here who are all so hungyr for social change. You can tell it is in their blood and always on their minds. Despite the tragic stories their families have endured they arent stopped from having fun and partying and dancing. I have to say, for being a bunch of gringos we danced alright. I should especially give a shout out to Caleb who impressed alot of Latino girls.
Anyways my time is kind of ticking on the internet so I hope thigns are well in Canada

What great writers you are. We can 'picture' what is happening there. Thanks. we were wondering if a picture of the team with names attached could be added, so we can see 'who is who'.
Be blessed, be a blessing.
