My adventure to Guatemala commences Tuesday evening. I should arrive in Guatemala City at 7:15am on Wednesday where I will take a bus to Xela, Guatemala in hopes of finding Glenda, the woman who should be picking me up from the bus station and taking me to my host family. I recently found out that I am no longer staying with the host family I previously thought I would be with, but I am sure that I will have a place to stay.
I hope to start taking classes at El Quetzal on Thursday. The school I am studying at consists of five-hours of Spanish Language a day with optional afternoon classes of cooking, dancing, culture, etc. I am hoping to get connected to a local school upon arrival to in order to work with some local youth through Soccer and possibly teaching english or helping with math... possibly show the Guate community what Mathewmatics is all about, although I suppose there it will be Mateomaticas.
Thank you all for wanting to follow my blog. I will try to post pictures and humorous posts as often as possible to keep you all entertained. Please email me or comment on my blog while I am abroad so that I can hear about how all of you are doing.
You will all be in my thoughts and prayers during my stay in Guatemala and I hope you are consoled and blessed with peace and love throughout Spring Quarter.
Peace,
Mathew
