What a wonderful feeling to be back in Guatemala and back at the center, as soon as the plane started to land my joy was un containable, I was so happy (and probably looked a bit insane!) the someone actually stopped me to ask if I was alright haha. Samuel was right at the doors of the airport when I got off and everything went without a hitch. The traffic was crazy being morning rush hour, but Samuel took me through all the back roads to avoid the traffic as much a possible.
Finally we got to the center, the highlight of my last 3 months! I walked into the doors and there were many arms running to welcome me varying from 2 years old to 50. I am so happy to be back. The smiles and joy these children have are contagious! There is no team here right now, but there are a few odd gringos here staying with me, I knew most of them from before, but it is always nice to see new faces :)
Today we fell right into the rhythm of feeding, playing, changing, feeding ect... and the fun doesn't stop there. I have had many good conversations with the ladies already so far and I cannot wait for more. The amount they feel they are able to confide in me is amazing, I just wish I could understand EVERYTHING they say, sometimes they talk so fast, or we are trying to talk about a subject I really have never heard of before in Spanish makes it so hard, but I just sit there trying to figure it out, praying for some epiphany to happen, but it's just then, that I realize I don't need to know, I don't need to have every word down to a "tee" because the simple fact that we are together gabbing (about who knows what!) in each others presence is enough. The fact that we can confide in each other and feel the tone, offer a hand or a hug when needed or a laugh and smile to add some joy. God gave us the ability to love, and that is more powerful than words.
