“What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the mornings, what you will do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything.”

Guatemala 3/17/11

Today we worked at a place called La Providencia. It is an area near San Lucas which has around 40 homes in all. We met up with Mr. Courtney's friend Gustavo who is one of the managers of the hydroelectric project which plans on generating electricity for the homes in the community.

The work sucked. We had to carry buckets filled with concrete up a steep hill and into structures meant to hold the water pipe. At first it was only a few people carrying the buckets. But later on the community got together and helped out which ended up being fun working with people who couldn't speak the same language as me.
