YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Hola, from your fellow Guateamericans. I hope you’re doing well in the good ol U.S. of A. As for us? Well… Guatemala is treating us very well. Not only are we enjoying the company of others, but we’re also learning a great deal of new information. Por example… Choo-Choo means you stink in kaqchikel. I’ve had to say choo choo to Megan a few times. Nah, I kid I kid. Anyway, here’s a recap of the last few days.
Yesterday we enjoyed another long day of digging. Just a little feedback… A nine foot hole is MUCH larger than you think. I was starting to get concerned that we were going to reach the center of the earf. Lucky for us, we were a couple thousand miles away from that. I think… Anyhow, after work we had the great joy of going out to dinner as a team in Antigua and we couldn’t have had a better time. The food was awesome and the music was fantabulous. Better yet, Elsa somehow managed to get the crowd to sing happy birfday to Jamie both in ingles and Spanish. And you KNOW we went buck wild during the song. Let’s just say, it was an amazing time.

After dinner we all decided it was time to call it a night. Elsa and Jamie somehow manage to strip people of all their energy with 1st grade jokes. Which reminds me let’s take a quick break for one…
Why did the turtle cross the road?
To get to the shell station.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Yes. This is what we are all dealing with. Now a quick recap… Lots of dirt in my life, good dinner, fun times and super tired. Okay. Now we’re all caught up. We went to bed just after dinner. Only problem is… The roosters thought it’d be cool to have a screaming contest over the course of the night. Needless to say, we were up and down all night. But it’s otay… Sleep is overrated. I told Lito (our boss, so to speak) LET’S DIG MORE DIRT. And it was done. While we continued our journey to the center of the earf, the others stayed back to share some love with the mothers. From what I hear, it was amazing. There were some tears, laughter, and bonding. The girls gave a great sermon and followed it up with some bracelet creations and cookie making. I don’t know if the men should wear them but hey, to each it’s own, right?
Seriously though… The experience thus far has been nothing shy of amazing. The people are absolutely wonderful (when their not laughing at the gringos when we say hi) and the atmosphere is breath taking. Even better, the family we’re working for has stolen many of our hearts. And this, I must say, was completely unexpected. But that’s always God’s way isn’t it? I truly hope everyone is well and we all thank you VERY much for all your support. You are all with us in spirit. We will see you soon.
Sincerely.
Your 2009 GO Guatemala Team.
Now we are off to a shoe melting volcano. Wish us luck
