"I've never laughed so much in my life!"









My favorite quote yesterday, "I've never laughed so much in my life!"  Followed by several responses of "I know" and "Me too!"

These students are beyond amazing. Our next 3 days we are building stoves and latrines, as well as continuing to work on the house.  Lots of hard physical work, but I'm going to bet the most rewarding for most.

The smiles on their faces each day are priceless.

Time for breakfast.  Stay tuned for updates this evening.  And by the way, the students would not be AT ALL disappointed to hear from you on the blog (hint, hint).

Fun in the Sun - Six Were Done

Breakfast at 7, strolled in for some waffles.  During morning devotion we separated into 3 groups to help 3 different homes.  The ride was 30min long, but 2 busses got lost.  Eventually we made it to the village high up in the mountain.  From one of the work sites you could look over and see the mountains, volcanos, and Lake Atitlan. Josie's Perspective: My group had a slow start.  We think the waffles slowed us down.  But eventually we started our day.  Some worked on the Latrine and some on the stove.  Today I got to work on my first stove. My first job of the day was to operate the machete, and cut the blocks to different sizes.  We had to carry 40 blocks to the location where we worked.  While I was cutting blocks a few people from my group started to mix mud to "glue" the blocks together.  As I chopped the blocks Caroline and Lyndsey would check it and talk with me here and there. Once we started to build the stove our mason asked us to fill in the cracks wi

¡Hola! We started the morning off with another delicious breakfast in the hotel. Everyone was excited for the day ahead. Breakfast consisted of fruit, pancakes, and coffee. The walk from the hotel to the lake is short, when we arrived the boat we were going to take hadn't arrived yet. This resulted in a photoshoot with a gorgeous view of the mountains in the back. We got on the two-story boat and were off for an hour long ride to San Juan. For the majority of the boat ride, people took pictures, laughed, and enjoyed the view from Lake Atitlan. Once we arrived in San Juan, it was gRiNd time, a long hike up a steep hill, only to be late for mass. The church in San Juan was beautiful and everyone enjoyed the similarities and differences between their mass and ours. It seems to be more laid back here, but the thing with Catholic mass, it is all the same. Some us made some friends during mass, as well. Next on the agenda was the honey tour-- i
