Teaching in Guate: Thankful and Busy
http://jennyinguate.blogspot.com/2011/11/thankful-and-busy.html
Happy Thanksgiving to you, long-suffering readers of my blog. I'm not sure this webpage has really deserved the title of "blog" as it is more like a monthly periodical, one which you have ceased to pay for and now use for decoupage or something like that. On the weekends, Heather and I try to see as much as we can and enjoy the company of our new friends. Here is a picture of us with Andrea at her flamenco dancing recital. Flamenco is such an interesting dance. Some routines are choreographed, but th...

Teaching in Guate: October 2011
http://jennyinguate.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
I'm sorry for my sporadic blogging. There is so much to tell you; life here hasn't stopped. Instead of trying to catch you up on every detail, I've decided to include some mysterious curios of Guate. Exhibit B: Softball hat. Exhibit C: Pan flute classics. Heather and I took a wonderful trip to Antigua this weekend. Another update to follow. Happy Fall, everyone. I found out two things the other day: my students listen sometimes and my students don't know what clothes are. Since then, my map has fallen of...

Teaching in Guate: September 2011
http://jennyinguate.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
I'd Rather Have a Snow Day. I've never had school canceled for anything but snow. The seemingly harmless flakes were so inviting as I watched the morning news, waiting impatiently for my school to crawl across the screen with the words: "CANCELED" or "2 HOUR DELAY" close behind. Ah, snow days. Here in Guate, we have earthquake days. I was on lunch duty today when I felt the first earthquake. It wasn't huge, but it was substantial enough to cause quite a stir amongst the students. Terremotos. In other new...

Teaching in Guate: August 2011
http://jennyinguate.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Everyone just needs a shuco. It's nice to be done with our first week of work. We've been lesson planning from 8-4 every day and I'm about ready to put away The World and Its Cultures. In Spanish, however, is not fun. We've been told: "oh, don't walk at night. It's very dangerous. And never walk alone. Or jog. Or go to any zone except 14. And even then, don't wear nice clothes, or jewelry, or talk on your cell phone, or have blonde hair, or look American." Nice. I think I said "que rico! It was wonderful...

Teaching in Guate: Horatio Spafford
http://jennyinguate.blogspot.com/2011/09/horatio-spafford.html
I was very encouraged by the hymn "It is Well" tonight at church. And subsequently inspired to share with you the story of its author, Horatio Spafford. Check out his story here: http:/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horatio Spafford. It has been a difficult transition, with misunderstandings at work and feeling limited by the precarious situation in Guatemala. I often wonder (as most of us do) what God's plan is for me here. Regardless, it is well:). September 11, 2011 at 10:08 PM. September 12, 2011 at 10:28 AM.

Teaching in Guate: Catching Up
http://jennyinguate.blogspot.com/2012/02/catching-up.html
I have a list of "things to blog about" on my desktop that I've been keeping since October. It's since gotten out of control. I have things written on there like "awkward car ride music" and "Livingston adventure" and "my life is like a Super Mario game" but I just haven't made the time. Here is another fledgling attempt to salvage this blog:. Although we were supposed to form a human chain from the top of the volcano to the base, what actually transpired was a rag-taggle mess of Chapins and gringos bump...

Teaching in Guate: John 15:12-15
http://jennyinguate.blogspot.com/2012/02/john-1512-15.html
Happy Valentine's Day. I'm thinking of all my friends and family today, whom I love so dearly. You have all shown me, in different ways, what it means to love selflessly and to be a true friend. I think Heather and C.S. Lewis can be credited with some important truths for today:. Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art.It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival."- C.S. Lewis. February 14, 2012 at 2:36 PM. I love you too Jenny. :). A Word in Season.
