Just got back from an amazing week off! After 11 weeks of Spanish class, we were ready for a break! And, Dave's 32nd birthday is coming up in a few weeks, so decided it was a good time to go! So, if you're interested, you'll have to check out the pics

Hi all,

We hope that you're having a wonderful Easter, celebrating the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We're enjoying a wonderful Semana Santa (Holy Week) in Antigua, the centre of Semana Santa celebrations for Central America, and apparently the 2nd biggest celebration in the world! And yep, there are lots of people here! A bunch of new pics for you to enjoy!

I have also been working on a Wish List for our school at amazon.com If you are interested in supporting our students and our program, this is one great way to do it! It is a list of practical resources we would love to have for our classrooms. If you're interested in helping by purchasing, donating used copies or giving a Gift Card, please let me know and I can provide more details. You can check out the list here http://www.amazon.com/wishlist/1SAAB5KWFS1PW or by clicking the "Amazon Wish List" button under Links.

In other big news, we have planned a trip to Canada for this summer - July 11-21, so hope to see many of you then. For any Canadians interested in donating to our school, I can collect resources then to bring back with us to Honduras.

Have a great Easter,

Esther and Dave

Hi there,

Sorry we haven't been doing that great of a job of updating our blog! But, here are some pictures from our recent trip to a lake nearby, as well as a few pics of the house we're living in with a Guatemalan family. Some running commentary from us too :)

Enjoy!

We just got back from a wonderful weekend at the beach. A little town called Monterrico, on the Pacific Ocean. You can see more pictures below. I've also added more pics to the Lent album, as the celebrations here continue.

Now, to add to our 3 wonderful nephews . . . we have a niece!

Violet Joy Heidt, born to Philip and Amber Heidt on March 7th!

So exciting!

Added a few more pictures to this album today. From our trip to a coffee farm and hike up an active volcano!

Hi all!

We just got back last night from a great weekend with a work team from Canada. My cousin's brother-in-law, Marvin (in pic), brought a team from his church and another church down to construct a new building for a church near Guatemala City. We couldn't join them during the week since we have classes every day, but we went up for the weekend. Besides Dave getting pretty sick (his usual "adjusting to a new country" stomach adventures), we had a great time. He is feeling back to normal and we're back in class.

You can check out the pictures and commentary at http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=61796&id=510633700&l=f2abf

Enjoy :)
