We are here!
I don't have hardly any time until I start my first class, but we all made it to Antigua with all of our luggage and all of our limbs intact! Antigua is one of the most impressive places I have ever been. It has so much character and so much life to it. We are in a small valley surrounded by three volcanoes and the jungle, so the scenery is spectacular. Only one of the volcanoes is active, but I got to see it erupt a bit yesterday afternoon from my balcony, and as I signed on to the internet, we had a small earthquake, so the day has been rife with new experiences. The city was one of the earliest settlements by the Spanish, so the ruins from the 1600s are more than impressive. It is raining here today, but today is supposed to be the last day of the rainy season, so we will be having awesome weather the rest of the time.
I live with a family that boards students at the school, so I eat meals with 5 other people. It is such a great start to everything. As is customary with Latin culture, I am late for class, so I need to go! I promise to post again by this weekend!
Please continue in your prayers for me and the other 13 missionaries here that we would be given opportunities to share Christ with our families.
Awaiting His Return,
Ryan

You haven't been there more than 2 days and you already have a balcony, you get to watch a volcano erupt, you felt a small earthquake, and you are surrounded by ancient ruins. I'm sorry but I just don't see how we will be able to communicate under such conditions of maggie torture...
Ha! So glad you're safe! Thinking of you often!
Hey buddy! I'm glad you're there in one piece! Thinking about you...
