“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 (Sies)

Today was sooooo HARD, but super rewarding. We worked with Mr. Courtney's friend Gustavo and his group Engineers without Borders. We worked on two different projects. The first involved us moving rocks and dirt to a certain location for it to level out the ground and to serve as a "natural filtering system." We had to dig so much but after learning what the project was ultimately for it was worth it. The second project was forming a line to move concrete to hold the pipes up. The ultimate project is a hydro-powered generator to generate energy for the people of La Providencia. I have never worked so hard, but it was amazing. I will sleep good tonight.
