I still can't believe it but we have been here in Guatemala since Saturday, April 27. We visited with Nola for a couple of hours on Saturday and then again on Sunday and on Monday, she came to stay with us. The director of her hogar and his wife did a wonderful job of preparing her for our visit and she has been completely at ease with us. We spent our first few days at our favorite hotel, La Casa Grande. It was so good to see Gloria again as well as the rest of the staff there. We are currently at the Grand Tikal Futura. It's a bit fancy for my taste but the girls love the pool here. I'm wishing I had worked harder on my Spanish but we're getting along pretty well. I usually can get the main idea of what she's telling me and she is helping me out when I need it. Mark is going to be here with us until the 11th and Maria and I will stay until the 19th. We're meeting with our lawyer on Monday and will be going over what to expect for the rest of the process. I'm wishing the rest of the process included Nola coming home with us when we leave on the 19th but unfortunately, that's not going to happen. For now, we're enjoying every minute and praying our case speeds through the process and our little girl will be home with us this summer.
