First Days in Antigua


We arrived in Antigua late at night and at the hotel we were ushered into the smallest room you can imagine. Our first thought was “Okay, God, we can do this if this is your will for us.” There wasn’t even room to open our suitcases. The next day we were given an amazing room in the owner, Rosita’s home. Plus we received breakfast and lunch cooked for us everyday by Abby her housekeeper. Both Abby and Rosita became our good friends. We felt as though we were in language school already they helped us so much with Spanish! Both women shared their hearts with us and we were so encouraged that in spite of the language barrier we could still be in close relationship and love others!
Our first night in Antigua

We were moved to a bigger room the 2nd night. Not sure why? Language Barrier!


First Breakfast In Antigua!


Church in the square

An old government building in the main square.

Old building destroyed by the earthquakes of 1700’s    

We went into one of these churches and knelt down to pray. I was brought to tears just thinking of all the people who have knelt where we were kneeling over hundreds of years crying out to God.   Karen

Is that a awesome sight?  I love walking down this street!    



In a cafe on the internet above the square! So cool!
