“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.”

Tired but energized...

Buenos dias, all!

After 26 hours of travel, we have finally made it to San Lucas, Guatemala!  We left at 2:00PM (Hawaii Time) on Thursday and arrived in San Lucas at 8:00PM (CST) on Friday.

Spirits are high though many may be fatigued.  We awoke this morning to a clear sunny day with an excellent vision of the volcanoes that surround the community.  We just had breakfast and found out that we had dishes duty first thing!  So, the students are currently washing all the dishes, cleaning the tables, and putting away the food.  They jumped right in and have almost finished.

Our plan after breakfast is to go on a tour of all of the projects that Church is currently operating.  We are excited to learn more about each of these opportunities that the Parish provides to the community in San Lucas.

Well, below are a few pictures that we have taken thus far.  We will post again later this afternoon when we have more time!  Onwards to the tour...
