Contracion -> dialation -> baby = miracle!

So i have been in Guatemala now for 7 days, and I have come to realize that I really don't want to be writing down every thing that happens every day.  But I shall give you some highlights (in no eloguant way what so ever).

I occupy myself here with whatever the family I am staying with occupies themselves with.  The father in the family is a core member of the local churches and christian schools and christian youth center.  I go to youth group, the youth center, church things, morning devotions at the school.   I also am going to start teaching english since there are 3 guys that want to learn english, and Anita, the midwife told them that I will 2 nighs a week.  I read alot, and think alot too.  Oh also, I clean the clinic. 

On the weekend at a church picnic thingy mabob, I got my camera out and asked if the little girl who was hiding behind me wanted to try to take a picture, well she loved, it soon enough i had a corwd of little photpgraphers taking pictures of everything and anything.  It was quite fun.  It was so much like the first guatemala trip I went on how there is all of a sudden a crowd.  I like talking to little kids better in spanish because they don't judge me. 

I also went to a basketball game at the school where got excruciatingly burnt. 

I know, I know, all you guys really want to know about is babies! and births!  Well, I saw my first one yesterday!  My job was to feed the mother water, hold her legs a part during pushing, and suction out the liquid from the babies mouth and nose.  Then I had to hold the new born baby for like 45 minutes, while the mother got cleaned up.   Then i had to clean up...well alot of stuff.  I will spare you the gorey details, even though I don't find them gorey at all, I am sure many of you will.  Anyways when the baby was placed on the mothers chest,  I had tears in my eyes.  It was so beautiful.  It was such a miracle. It shows how awesome God is!  The baby was just sitting in fluid, in the mothers womb, and then all of a suden he was in the world, breathing air.  WOW! I have also saw a few prenatal appoitments too.  Did you know that if the women is in her 8 or 9th month you can totall feel the head just by touching her abdomen!

Also while I am here I am learning alot  about being a missionary, and how it so much about the relations hips and trust and that you don't have to be constantly working and busy in order to serve the lord!

When their is a women here we are busy and then we cleaning, and then we are tired, but sometimes I am just busy at night, so it really gives me time to think, like really think, and meditate.  Its nice.
