Sorry I missed day three but we were just so busy learning that we did not have time to blog. So I will incorporate what we did yesterday and today in one.
Yesterday we carried rocks up a hill in order for them to be used for the women shelter. We also helped clear a path that will be used in the housing area. It was hard work but it was not long and we had to wait around a lot for the rocks to be broken. We then heard a talk from an indigenous women about her experiences in San Lucas, with the mission, and her live during the war. It was very interesting and although it had to be translated, the message did not loose its passion. Later that night we went to the house of a local man and he also gave a very interesting account of the war and his hope for the future.
Today we worked in the garden pulling weeds and had a talk with Father Rich. He is from New York and gave us a very intriguing talk about the parish and life in Guatemala. He is a really cool guy. We have also continued reading Silence on the Mountain and having discussions about the book. It has been getting more interesting.
Well that is all for now. Buenos Noches!!!
Working hard I see. Since you are now officially trained to pull weeds, I will let you get the weeds out of our back yard, and get a garden started for us. Good job!!!
