Daniel, Jessica, and Brian have arrived in Guatemala. Due to volcanic eruptions in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska our flight was delayed 8 hours in Anchorage. We will be spending the night in Guatemala City because we were advised not to travel at night on the highways. The U.S. embassy met us at the airport and will caravan with us to meet Nancy tomorrow. The Guatemalan Tourist Assistance Agency (Asistur) has been a great help to us by picking us up at the airport, providing us a hotel in Guatemala City, and they plan to transport us to Morales tomorrow.
We've shed many good tears on the flight down together. We really appreciate all of the support everyone has given us. Nancy is getting a lot of support from local friends at the hospital. Nancy's voice sounds very strong on the telephone and the doctors say that her collapsed lung is improving quickly. Tomorrow we will be with her.
Alejandro, a third cousin of Daniel and Jessica, will be joining Nancy and family on August 14 for support with the language barriers and loving support. Ale has spent the several last years as a spiritual teacher and trauma healer. Additionally, Ale is fluent in Spanish and English and has worked as an interpreter, so he will be very helpful to Nancy.
