Back to Electricity!

Okay so we are back to places with electricity and running water!!!
We had a fantastic time in Coban and soon a new blog with lots of wonderful photos will be up! But this might take a couple of days because right now we are building houses with Habitat For Humanity in Rio Hondo!
Pray for our group that we have the energy to build houses for the next 2 weeks!
That is all for now

Blogs, Blogs and more Blogs!

Okay so I (Carolyn) just put up a ton of photos and blogs for you all!
Enjoy!

Schedule for the next month:
Feb 5- 17: We will be in Coban. Coban is up in the northern region of Guatemala and this is where we will be staying. It is also the jungle/cloud forest area with the mayan people! For a couple of days we will stay with a mayan family where we will have no running water or electricity! Wish us luck!
Feb 17-27: We will be in Rio Hondo (Zacapa) which is in the western region to work with Habitat For Humanity building houses.

Note: while in Coban we may have little/no access to internet and sometimes our phones will not work in Coban beacause it is so mountianous. So the next blog might not be for a while.

Monterrico: Pacific Ocean!

Monterrico... two glorious days of sun and relaxation, with the ocean only a matter of steps away. As I close my eyes I can still hear the waves lapping against the black, sandy shore. The sand was so hot at times, it would be a mad dash back to our sandals. I think one of my favorite things was having worship out on the beach! We made a bonfire and sang some songs. And then we watched the beautiful sunset and saw the dazzling stars all around us. At once I realized how small I was and felt. As I looked out at the ocean I couldn't help but admire its beauty and strength.
