For the last 11 days I've been in Guatemala: serving through Mission Guatemala (building chicken coops, helping children, meeting locals, building friendships). But I also was able to check my emails from any of dozens of "internet cafes" in Panajachel, a town of 10,000. And I also wrote two magazine articles while in Guatemala.
Some of my more exotic experiences during my free days included getting my hair cut from a Guatemalan barber, working out two days in a top-floor gym, and trying to talk to people I met on the street as I interacted with locals.
All in all, a beautiful experience and an astounding land filled with warm and gracious people. I hope to return.
Many thanks to Tom and David and the entire Mission Guatemala staff for their expertise and good work.
