Guatemala Day 4
I’m exhausted. But that’s how it’s supposed to be. I’ve learned so much about leadership in the past two day. We got to see a cemetary! It was beautiful but turned back early as there was a family there and wasn’t sure if they…
Guatemala Day 3
Our team is amazing. The way they gell. The way they rock it. It is am amazing and blessed team. It’s been incredible and I am entirely humbled and uplifted. This is the house I helped build my first time out here.
Adventures and Ruins
I want to go here. Apparently some guys found it while kayaking and it’s right off NYC. A friend of mine wants to get into kayaking, and while driving through the UP, I though it could be awesome. We would bring some supplies for camping,…
Blog Block
It’s been a while since I’ve written. I’ve debated topics, from anchor characters to the weird animals in Guatemala. None of these turned out, but I wanted to write something, so I thought I’d give a general hi, and then give an update. My…
Guatemala: Train Musem
This happened Sunday, but I want more pictures before moving forward. We went to a train museum. Our idea of a museum and theirs is a little different. I’m pretty sure their train museum would be our train graveyard. I’m not sure if this…
Guatemala: Church and School
We went to church in Zacapa. It’s a beautiful structure. It has a courtyard. And barbed wire. If that isn’t safety, what is. Last year we didn’t get to church because of a flight delay. Today I sat there, admiring the relaxed nature of…
Preparing for Guatemala
I leave for Guatemala on Saturday. It came up faster than I thought it would. I’m excited and nervous, but I remember it being a lot of fun. We were thinking of going to walk up a volcano. It would have been fun, but…
Guatemala Sept 21st, 2013
Finally, right? It won’t be entirely verbatim, but mostly I’m taking straight from my journal with some pictures inserted. September 21st, 2013 We are in Guatemala. The women are beautiful. The country is beautiful. the city is beautiful. The morning started at 4:15am. After…
Remembering a Foreign Time
Written on a cramped airplane where I couldn’t see what I wrote. Done in about 20 minutes. I thought it was a pretty awesome deal. Including pictures of Guatemala in this, though the actual Guatemala post will come later. The old man of the…
Guatemala Part II
I still need to write about my first trip! But today I finished up my vaccination for one of the hepatitis strains I started long ago for this trip to Guatemala. I was also asked by Pastor if I wanted to go. I’ve been…
I Prefer It Black
I changed a great deal while in Guatemala. My heart, my mind, my spirit, my soul, it all changed. But so did my tastes. The son of the guy who gave us food (I feel guilty, but I don’t remember either of their names)…
