1) Phyllis is currently in a commanding lead for "number one blog responder who wins a home made Guatemalan dinner by Annette when she gets back in June." It's an intense competition...any challengers?
2) The lock in went well. A little dodgeball, four on a couch with sixty people, a power outage from 12:30 to 2 (it's Guate, what can you expect), a lot of Rook, some fight 21, movies, and a pancake breakfast. The kids had a fun time, and I got to interact in more of a YL leader role, which i LOVE.
3) Here are some pictures from Semuc Champey--Semuc is an oasis tucked away in the middle of Guatemala. It's not touristy, and it's absolutely beautiful. Water filters through rock to create the pristine, clear pools; a river rushes under the pools, and there are waterfalls all over the place. BONITA!!!!

Hey Annette keep the updates coming. I love reading about your life & experiences there. I hope to keep my 1st place position all the way to the end. Let's see if there are any takers to your challenge. Ok, slipping into that YL role probably came pretty easy, in fact, I am sure almost as naturally as breathing. Kids probably loved it as well. The Semuc Champpey looks amazing ~ were you able to swim there? It is absolutely Beautiful. You keep posting photo's like that and Brian and I just might have to return for a visit.

Annette, I'm not so sure about this competition, what about emails and phone calls? Sounds like you're having fun and having a bunch of different experiences. How was church on Sunday? Sorry I missed your "birthday," hope it was wonderful. Talk to you later!
Hannah
The pictures are beautiful.
I'm happy to hear that you are off to a good start in your teaching career. I am looking forward to hearing more about your adventures and seeing more pictures.
Annette, the landscapes are beautiful, I wish I could be there to enjoy them. I am glad you are having a great time so far and the you had a wonderful time with the lock up. Its great that everything went well minus the power outage and that you were available to be there and get to know your students even more

Well Annette you know I love competition. Are previous winner qualified?
Annette:
Glad to hear the lock in went well - you didn't mention if you slept the rest of the weekend. The pictures were beautiful. Maybe a place to visit when we are there! Love Mom
Annette,
Mom and I have been reading your blog with great interest. Keep up the good work. It is great to hear your voice on the phone as well. I promise not to get into a posting battle with anyone. Maybe a few other folk should have the priveledge of dining with you as a prize for the most posts.
Love,
Hermanator
Annette,
I think your dad is playing this one smart ~ he doesn't want to get into a competition with me. Now Hannah might have a legitimate argument with the email & phone calls. I continue to be amazed at how God is using you through all your many experiences. I know your mom & dad are really looking forward to seeing you and sharing with you. Thinking of you! Phyllis
