Last week in Antigua

Well, instead of writing a post for everyday this week titled, Last Monday in Antigua, etc. I settled for one post for the week.  It has been a week full of "lasts."  We've had a meal with everyone we know!

On Wednesday, we had dinner with Nancy (one of Stephen's teachers) and her family.  I am not kidding when I say that they live on the top of a mountain.  The road up to her house is incredibly steep and narrow.  In one part, the side mirror was touching the wall on the driver's side.  The view, however, is beautiful.  They told us that during November and December you can see Christmas lights up and down the mountain.

Today all six of us had a goodbye lunch at Pollo Campero and then came back to the house to open the farewell gifts and eat apple pie.  As usual, it's hard to say goodbye--but such is life.

Tonight we went to dinner with Jane, one of our fellow students.  She is a 15-year old from Boulder, CO, who has been here (alone) studying Spanish for 10 weeks.  She returns home on August 8.

We're almost all packed up; just have to load the truck in the morning.  We're anxious to get to the city in the morning to see the team from Abundant Life Baptist Church in Lee's Summit and the team from El Salvador. Tomorrow will be a great day for a reunion!  Please pray for the campaign this week; the first evening campaign is tomorrow night in a private neighborhood where one of the church members lives.  

 After dinner at Nancy's house--we had typical Guatemala food, including Chili Rellenos, frijoles and arroz con leche.

 All-american dessert to say good-bye to Antigua.  I'm pretty sure everyone enjoyed it.

Nancy, Siria, Aracely, me and Corina.  

Dinner with Jane at the restaurant at the Camino Real Hotel.
