Arrival-Via a Mother's Eyes

Well, Joe arrived safely in Guatemala last week Wednesday. He spent the weekend with a host family in Antigua City for a retreat that the volunteers attended Thursday through Saturday. They were then heading into a new City on Sunday. There he will be staying with another host family for his 3 months of training.

I'm sure the biggest issue on all your mines though, if your watching the weather, is his safety with hurricane Felix coming in to land as a category 5. Joe has emailed and assured us that the PC is very good on safety. They are on alert and if needed evacuations will be done. He is ok with this, and those of you that know Joe, know he loves the weather, as at one point he thought about meterology as a career. (Prayers never hurt though - I know always a mom!)

Joe's body adjusted to the region this weekend, montezuma's revenge sounds like. In Joe's words, fever, diarrhea like a faucet, headache, nausea, chills . . . . . who knows from what. Says Hi to all and hopes to get on soon to do a posting of his own.

Talk to you soon!
