The time has really flown by.. we leave Monday.   So we are packing everything into this week.   Today we took a Chicken Bus to Sololá this morning.  Elevation here is 2,100 m, whereas Panajachel is 1,600 m, doesn't seem like a lot but when you are carrying 25 lbs and walking up,  wow it really takes a toll.   I was glad Lydia at times worked with a sister named Olivia.   We worked about 5 blocks  or so then a few headed back and we did a bit more then walked up,  straight up to go have a break.   What a view,  it was so worth the trek.   Josh worked with a 23 year old brother named Drew.   We were able to hear how he came in the truth Sunday at lunch.  Drew was witnessed to by a classmate in high-school,  started studying and received major opposition from his parents.   They took his car away,  he could only go to school and work.   So they said he couldn't go to meetings but they never said he couldn't study.   So he continued his study and at 18 took a stand for the truth and got baptized.   After high-school he went to college but dropped out and took a technical course instead.   His parents kicked him out of the house for making that decision.   He has been here 9 months and isn't planning on leaving.   He pioneers and supports himself by teaching English online.   He said his parents are very proud of him now.   What a wonderful example of a young one giving his best to Jehovah, and very encouraging.

Tomorrow Josh and  are going on a breakfast date to Crossroads Cafe for hot chocolate,  coffee and cinnamon rolls.  Then some wholesale shopping and finish with a trip to open air food market.  I  know now to just have my phone out and have them type the price in my calculator if I don't understand the price in Spanish.   Then the meeting at 3 pm.

Wednesday/Friday we are going in service in a boat across the lake.

Thursday we are going to the Nature Reserve.   They have monkeys and I was told you MUST bring bananas to see them.   They also have a butterfly garden.   Thursday night we're having our first gathering at our house.

Saturday service.   Sunday meeting.   Monday we get packed up and are going to a Mayan ruins and then to Guatemala City.

Tuesday home again home again.... until the next adventure😃
