We are almost finished with our fifth week of language school and have six more weeks to go. Our teachers have been excellent and we are learning so much! Each morning we walk seven or eight blocks to our school. We walk through the central park and up Calle del Arco (the famous Arch Street) and pass La Merced which is a beautiful cathedral.

Today my teacher Iliana and I went shopping in the mercado for all the ingredients for chile relleno. Then we went back to our apartment and she taught me (speaking only espanol) how to make them. My only complaint was buying the meat hanging in the open air (I tried to convince her we could make vegetarian chile relleno, but she said that was not possible) so it's official. I have cooked with street meat!
We received our financial update from Catalyst today and we have only received about 25% of our budget for the month of January. We are checking to make sure that all of the checks that were intended for our family are in our account. Please make sure that in the memo of your check you write "Wheeler family" so that there is no confusion. And remember that we are here in Guatemala only because so many of you value the work that we are doing and are a part of this work through your donations. For your reference, Catalyst's address where donations can be sent is on the right side of the blog. Please email us if you have any questions. Thank you again for all of your support and prayers!!!
