Changing cultures

Well, we have been in Guatemala since April 2006. We have encountered many obstacles and as a result we have had to learn a new way of thinking. As we continue to change our thinking, we continue to adjust more and more to the culture here. Luckily for me, I have had the luxury of looking at many of these obstacles differently because of my Hispanic family background. This has helped me adjust much easier to life in Guatemala. All this adjustment has given us a different perspective on just about everything we use to take for granted like electricity, clean water, clean fruits & vegetables, and the list could go on and on. Really, we all have to adjust to different cultures whether you are living in a foreign country or just visiting the other side of town. Good thing that Jesus transcends all cultures!
