Week 11

Haruko de Japón
The past two Sundays I got to deliver a few lines in a little skit for the kid´s church.  They have a different story for each month, and this month the story was about a little girl from Japan called ``Haruko``.  They had a girl from church dress up like a Japanese girl with the chopsticks in her hair and even make-up on her eyes to make her look Asian.  It was so cute! haha. They needed someone to be the missionary, so, of course I was perfect, being the gringa that I am.  The first Sunday, I had to memorize my little paragraph in half an hour.  This Sunday, I had read over my lines beforehand, so even though I memorized them that morning, at least I was a little more prepared, and Chochy said that I did a good job.  Yay! My last line this Sunday was ``Si ustedes son sabios, leeran la Biblia para conocer a Jesús como su amigo y Salvador.`` (``If you all are wise, you will read the Bible to know Jesus as your friend and Savior``)

Bible
Speeaaaking of the Bible, how have you all been about reading?  Have you been challenged?  I am trying to get in the habit of waking up and immediately reading my Bible- I have a stool next to my bed that I just leave my Bible open on.  That makes it easier.  Also, I like to read a little before bed, so that I have the Word fresh in my mind at night, as well as in the morning.  It´s hard because I´m like ``Noo- I´m so tired!`` But then I think to myself,``You know, if I have a feeling I should read my Bible, I should never say no.``

Halfway! 
So it´s already been over 11 weeks- out of about 21.  Crazy!  I feel like it´s been going slow, but then when I realize that it´s halfway over, I´m like ``Whoa! How did that happen!`` I had two dreams recently that my family came here to pick me up- early.  I was relieved when I woke up to realize it was a dream.  I mean, I am looking forward to being home, but I´m not ready to leave Guatemala yet.
