We were arrived at the CCM (Centro de Capacitacion Misional) nearing midnight, were welcomed to our new apartment by the Ogdens, and had 2 1/2 hrs with them the next morning for orientation. Then we were on our own. (Well, we have many ayudantes...Hno Cajas, our manager, Hno Dubon, our supervisor, 24 teachers, and a kitchen staff. They are our angels.) We didn't stop hyperventilating or get a normal heart rate for the first 7 days, but we survived. The spirit was present and the Lord made us 'equal to the task'. Dad was teaching in Spanish within the first days and I was giving my best smile in Spanish. It was humbling!
After months of preparation in Spanish and "Preach My Gospel"...goodbyes to family and friends...3 instructive days in the Provo MTC being taught by Elder Holland, Elder Perry and others...we arrived in Guatemala City Jan 18th.
