Day 1-2

As a forewarning i am an amatuer blogger and thus these entries will hopefully
improve over time, but at the start im afraid to say they will probably be dull
haha.

Guatemala. Our first stop! The airport was uneventful, but the taxi ride was
exhilarating. Traffic laws are very much guidelines (if even that) as multiple
times we ran stop signs without even pretending to slow down. Haha and today
(day 2) i saw a few cars just decide red lights werent worth their time (in the
middle of guatemala city).

Our hostel is very laid back and everyone is super friendly. We are staying here
at least one more night, for the atmosphere alone is quite relaxing. Today we
got to take a short ride to Antigua, Chicken buses are insane! Imagine roller
coasters mixed with mountain roads, throw in a handful more people than twice
what the bus should hold and you have close to what we experienced. Suprisingly
safe though and very entertaining.

Yesterday i landed hesitant about what this trip would encompass and now im
excited to see where God takes us. Already we've been handed opportunities and
connections with three different people. I cant way to see what God has in store
for us as we continue.

Be praying for us. Miss you all!

Odd sight/experience of the day: Two people making out like nobodys business on
a chicken bus. orrrr possibly the grandest burger king of them all... here haha.
