Well, the first of many more weeks is done! It's been quite the ride so far! The group is all here and they are all fantastic people whom I greatly look forward to getting to know better. This past week we have had a pastor from Guatemala come talk to us and give us discipleship 101. It was incredible to see the cultural differences and it excited me so much more for Guatemala. So far we have only actually worked one day! Today was suppose to be a work day but thanks to the rain, which seems to have followed from Vancouver, work was cancelled. We are not actually working in the barns yet as there has not been enough sun for the little asparagus to grow! Iinstead we have been doing all those jobs on a farm that the farmer never has quite enough time to do.
It's so weird being in the middle of nowhere, we currently have no internet in the place we are staying which adds to the feeling of isolation. If you're wondering how I am writing this, then you think to much! But to answer your question, we found a cafe about 30 minutes away from where we are staying which as free wifi! Score! There are a few cute, quaint towns around which are pretty sweet to visit on a sunny day (which are few and far between at the moment). Well, I'm borrowing a friends computer and he's giving me dirty looks so I better hurry up! Hope this message finds everyone well!
Thanks for stopping by!
Hey Colin! What an adventure you're on! remember when we were in the mountains of the philippines and we were helping make the beginnings of their school building? And how we were in the middle of no where? but how we still managed to go down to the river and play in the water? thats what comes to my mind when you're talking about your trip so far :)
