It was possibly the easiest transaction we've completed here so far. We were prepared for "the long haul", but all it took was copies of our passports and Q185 for a year's lease on a PO Box. If you would like to send us something, we now have mail service here that doesn't require someone from the hospital to receive it and bring it to our house.
The box is not super big, so don't try to send a television set or anything (it's 13cm x 13.5 cm x probably 3 or 4" - they only gave us two dimensions!), but it's here. Duane and Leslie told us that they have the best luck when things come in manilla envelopes. Boxes tend to get opened.
So our address now is:
Matt and Heidi Bell
Apartado Postal #27
Santa Cruz del Quiché
Guatemala, Centro America
14001 Codigo de Area
We also spent some time in the hospital this morning, letting everyone we could find know about the eye team that's coming down in October. They are very excited about it, eye problems are very common here. They did notify us of a RAT problem in our storage room in the hospital. Apparently, rats have been seen climbing out of the windows of the storage room for some time now. Thanks for letting us know the first time you saw one! Anyway, we'll be throwing some of the food you can buy on the side of the street in there. That should kill them, pronto.
Anyway, this afternoon, we'll be doing none or more of the following: napping, working in the courtyard, working out, obtaining a signature stamp for Heidi, watching a movie, cooking dinner, and/or preparing for tonight's meeting with Jacob regarding this year's and next year's budget.
Adiós for now.

Rats in the closet. Don't you just hate that? Sounds like the hospital needs a rat stalker. Why don't you let Jake prowl around a little bit on rat patrol?
