Mi vida Guatemalteca: January 2011

Work in Progress

So it is already mid-January and I'm still trying to get my schedule back in order. I really can't believe I've been in Guatemala for a year. I was able to go to the airport to welcome the new trainees and that was exciting. Seeing those fresh faces just getting into Guatemala I had two thoughts : 1) I'm glad that's not me again 2) I can't believe I'm the person welcoming them into Guatemala. It was so exciting and overwhelming. It gave me a boost of energy and I'm hoping that it lasts. These next few months we will be assisting in their training. I'm excited to have a group of four newbies to try and show the ropes. I just hope I can give them good advice and good training on what our job is. We just met them on Monday for a lunch and it was fun to meet them and hear their questions. How little they know!? Not in a bad way just in a way that we have forgotten how little you know when you first get into country.

I'm excited to start work again but having a bit of trouble getting back into the swing of things. There are still some projects I want to do in my house. Cleaning, Organizing, and some small painting endeavors. Life is busy. I'm just one month shy of my birthday! Then I'll only have one more birthday in Guatemala. CRAZY, how fast time is flying. Back to work!
