“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 Day (CINCO)

Today was amazing!!! We got to work with two other men to help build a septic tank. (or should I say dig). We used a pulley system to pull up rocks from this very deep hole. The first part I did not have gloves so I will probably have blisters, but that is a sign of hard work. We got up a lot of rocks and I personally felt accomplished. The second part of the day we worked in the garden pulling weeds with Mois. He is a great guy with an amazing laugh. All and all today was very successful and rewarding. We are meeting and talking with more people which is our ultimate goal. Pulling the rocks up was great, but the fact that we talked to more people and made more connections with the locals made the day the most rewarding. This only makes me want to learn Spanish even more!!!!

    I answered the phone today, but no one was on the phone. What happened? Is life in Guatemala a life you would want to live on a regular basis? I tried to call back the parish, but I got a busy signal. I miss you very much, but Tina is keeping me entertained. We went to Black sand beach and Akaka Falls and have eaten out every meal. We have had a very good time.
