Guatemala has basically two seasons – the dry season and the rainy season.  We have officially entered the rainy season.  Oh, we still see some sunshine, but most afternoons usually around 5:30 or so the rain comes down…and it can come down hard!  We have had (as we called them when I was growing up) some major gulley washers.  But then it will stop for a bit or just be a drizzle.  Then at bedtime we might get another downpour, but I don’t mind because I love the sound of the rain on the tin roof.

We got a new boy yesterday!  His name is Luis Fernando, and he is 13.  He will go into 1 Basico at school next week after exams are over, but for now he gets to just settle in and get used to the routine.  Please pray that he makes a smooth adjustment, and wise decisions about who to hang out with.  🙂

God bless!
