Week 11

Week 11

This is going to be a little short bc i don't have a lot of time but i just want to share a little bit about my week 

On Wednesday we went to an area in our area called Potrerillos and there is hardly anything there haha. Its all farms and stuff but soon we are going to go out there with some members and do some work. 

On Thursday was a holiday here in Guate called Dia del diablo and it was crazy. Everyone brings their trash to the street and burns it as a way of warding off the devil haha and then there was just fireworks everywhere and it was cool to experience.

It time that everyone is harvesting their crops so on Friday we spent like three hours helping random people clean their corn cobs by plucking out the bad parts haha. Ive got blood under my nails from all of that haha.

  Saturday we went back to Portrerillos and worked there but then on Sunday it got sooo cold. My area is the mountains but i didn't think it would get that cold. It has been an answer to my prayer bc i miss winter so much. It got down to 0 degrees C on Sunday and its been cold every since.

   On lunes we went to chimaltenango with some members and they bough us lunch which was super cool. He is a dentist and knows english really well so i always love talking to him. But also in Chimal is like a big mall thing where we go buy food and shop and stuff which is really fun bc its way different than my area. It feels like the states there and my area is crazy poor and farm stuff but it is super fun. 

  I love all of you and hope you have a good week,
