Thriving in Guatemala

My mom continues on in Guatemala, doing really well and studying hard. She hiked Pacaya last weekend, a volcano that is still active. This is the one that Tom and I hiked and it blew up and they evacuated the city, etc. Glad to see my mom made it through safely, although she had to hike to the tippey-top and said it was a really tough hike!

Here's mom at the hospital with her "favorite" kid, even though we were always told not to have favorites! She was invited special by the nurses to come to one of the children's birthday parties on Saturday and had lots of fun. She even says she is starting to get possessive of the kids when other people come in!
