Dear Friends and Family,
I've already received some worried emails, and just wanted to say that I'm okay! Safe and sound. Yesterday Volcan Pacaya erupted, a volcano right outside of Antigua (so pretty close to me...and Guatemala city...apparently there's ash everywhere). All schools in my district were canceled today, and a reporter was killed by a falling burning rock (the only reported death so far); thousands have been evacuated, and many have lost their homes.
It's kind of crazy to live in a place where volcanic eruptions and tremors are commonplace...it's really nothing I've ever experienced being from the good-ole Midwest. It just amazes me that two of Guatemala's largest cities are bordered by an active volcano.
Will update--
Love,
Hannah

So glad to hear that you are safe and sound! Pretty scary stuff. Thank you for letting us know. I hadn't heard about the eruption, but GMa Kay called and was quite concerned. Keep us posted.
