Guatemala

This isn't the first time I've been here, but it may be the last.
I'm half-way through my third week of my 3rd 2-month long trip to Guatemala and things are going quite well. Spanish is coming along quite nicely, I'm on top of my work, and my skin is starting to return to a more normal color (after being in Alberta for 5 months).
So far I've: Drank a lot of coffee, climbed part of a mountain to stand under a waterfall, taught a theology lesson, written a short sermon in Spanish, talked a lot about politics, economics, and the news in Spanish, done a high ropes course, had terrible allergies most every day, read part of psychology text-book (in english), met with two different pastors to see if my team can partner with their churches at different times to learn about inter-cultural ministry and leadership, eaten cow tongue and blood sausage, had some nasty diarrhea, walked a lot, checked out a lot of cute girls, wanted to get drunk, slept really hard, avoided responsibility, felt apathetic towards a lot of things, spent more money than I usually do, and made this short video for the people back at school:

Ignore the 3 or so minutes of black after the video ends.

A. As always I appreciate your refreshing candor.

B. Thank you for using your video skills to create the update.

C. It is ironic that as you speak to the camera at about 1 min 30 secs, there is a surveillance camera just to the side of you.
