Hello Everyone!!
We finally wrapped up our last week in Guatemala City with classes and host families and last but not least...the cool weather. My group left and headed north to the Caribbean sea up the north of Guatemala (Rio Dulce, more of a market town with sweet water, and Livingston, which is made up of indigenous Mayan communities, Black Gurifuna communites, and retired white people communities) and into Belize, which is where I currently am. The Caribbean climate is quite different than the spring climate in the city. Our group trudged through and sweat buckets everyday for the first couple days, but the scenery and people were wonderful. Yesterday, my birthday, we traveled from Livingston GA to Placencia...aka THE BEACH!! It was fantastic to finish my birthday out with my awesome group mates, but I do miss everyone from home!
It has been soo interesting as we have met interesting people, and wandered into interesting places. We travel back Saturday and Sunday, then make our way, my whole group, to Chiapas Mexico next Tuesday, and I am looking forward to that experience!
Please continue to pray fro my group and our experience here, and that God opens our eyes to more than what we are used to, and that he may challenge our hearts and minds to really think through our everyday lives and what our choices effect in the world picture.
Thank you guys for everything!!!
Take Care and God Bless,
Kiersten
