A Land of Contrasts

Once again, hello from Guatemala. There isn't much new to report. Basically, I am just going to class and trying to master Spanish. It's funny, the more I learn, the more complicated it seems.

Something that has really struck me since I arrived is seeing how Central America is such a land of contrasts. You see the best and the worst of humanity, the super rich and the destitute, hope and despair, good and evil side-by-side. In a first world country there are a lot more gray areas that we have created. I am still not sure how to reconcile some of these contrasting realities, but a friends of mine once told me to love the questions themselves. And someday, God will show me how all these pieces fit together.
