Yuli and I are getting older! We both have September birthdays, and it’s a blessing to be able to celebrate them together with our family. God has been so good to us!

Sidenote: I guess that I really like that gray sweatshirt!

After waiting for over a year, today we got our electricity connected!

Here they are installing (by hand!) the posts on our road.

Guatemala’s independence day is the 15th of September, and it’s incredibly fun to celebrate. In the days leading up to it all the schools run through the streets with torches, and I got to run with my students.

Then on the 15th there’s a huge parade with the bands of each school. Margaret loved watching the kids pass by.

We’re overflowing with corn! We’re trying to give most of it away, but there’s still enough to eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Here’s my favorite way to eat corn: grilled over a fire and then seasoned with lime juice & salt. Yummy!
