“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.”

-Pedro Arrupe

GUATEMALA TOMORROW!!!

1.) Today is March 9th, 2011. You will be embarking on a journey to Guatemala TOMORROW. What are your expectations? What are you looking forward to? What do you want to know?

So today is March 9th(well it was twenty six minutes ago at least) and I will be journeying to Guatemala TOMORROW. Its funny how four months ago it seemed like this day would take forever and now its here and and boy does forever go by pretty fast. It does not feel real that the day is actually here. I guess it will be more real when I am on the plane. I feel like I have prepared and prepared yet I am not prepared at all. Is it possible to be fully prepared for an experience like this? I still don't know what to expect. All I know is that I am excited. What I am most excited about is to experience something new, something bigger then myself, that I have ever experienced before.
I am excited to learn. About the people, the culture, the values. It fascinates me. I love people and I want to get to know as many as I can, not just in Guatemala but in life in general. I love talking to people and hearing their stories. I can't wait to hear the stories of the people. Even if they make me sad. I think they are important to know.
I am excited to see what Guatemala looks like. I keep trying to picture it in my head and I am curious to see if I am even close. I want to see it and smell it and touch it. I can't wait for it to become real.
