“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

We didn't get to blog about yesterday because of how busy we were. Yesterday we worked for the first time, but only from the morning to noon. Margarito drove us to the temporary home's near the woman's shelter. We carried rocks up the hill where they would later use it for the woman's shelter project. We also worked on clearing a path behind some of the homes, it was actually fun working although Mr.Courtney made a big deal about it being really terrible. Later on the afternoon we got to listen to Chona, the head cook at the parish, tell her story about what she experienced during the civil war in Guatemala. Her story was really powerful and very touching. After dinner we were invited to a man's home by the name of Andres. He talked about what he experienced and witnessed during the war. He also answered and gave his opinion's to our questions. There stories were have inspired me and given me a different perspective in life.
