Typically this blog is dedicated 99% to “business” stuff, but here’s a personal note. My family and I have been in Guatemala for a few months now finalizing the adoption of our precious little angel “Aven” (for the full story on that check out my wife’s blog here). Most of our time in Guatemala has been spent in Antigua. While we were in Antigua I made some great friends (see pic) - and they all speak Spanish, but want to learn English. The church we attended while in town offered a free class to any interested locals that wanted to learn to speak English…and although I know very little Spanish I volunteered and it turned out to be a great time for all!

It was a pleasure getting to know them and I’m sure I’ll miss them all terribly. I’m grateful for the supporters of this blog, my customers, and the fans of my books that have made such an extended trip for my family and I possible.

Hola mi amigos! Keep speaking English and come visit me in the U.S. someday!! Gracias! Mucho Gusto!!

Business note: One cool development from this trip is the discovery of some amazing hand made items that I’ll be adding soon to my eBay inventory to sell. The quality is amazing and the prices are incredible. It’s exciting to continue my relationship with this vibrant culture even though we are leaving soon.
