I'm going back to Guatemala!
I'm very excited about going back to Guatemala! The original trip did not go as planned in just about every way imaginable. First, the building that we went down there to build didn't make it through customs so we went down there not knowing what, if anything we would do when we got there. Second, because the building didn't make it through a large portion of the group decided not to go. But often times just being willing and showing up is enough to make good things happen. And indeed good things did happen. I'll reflect on those in my blog. Be sure to check it out!
For those who aren't familiar with what this trip is about we are going San Lucas, Guatemala with Side by Side International and building a community center for one of the surrounding villages. I had the oppurtunity to visit this village on my original trip and the people there are absolutely wonderful. They welcomed us into their homes and worked with us as we painted their school. They were even incredibly nice when I accidentally spilled paint onto at least a dozen kids. Oops! I'm very much looking forward to returning to the village and seeing the familiar faces. The kids are absolutely beautiful! I'm fortunate to be one of two that get to make the return trip.
I would like to thank everybody that donated on the first trip. It was very much appreciated. Also, I'm not asking for donations this time around. I have recieved an unexpected blessing that will allow me to cover the cost of the trip.

Pictures
I've put up pictures from the Guatemala trip. I have everybody's pictures but unfortunately there are so many pictures that I can't upload them all to my flickr account until next month when I get more bandwidth from flickr. Also, if you want to order pictures from flickr only use pictures from either my photos or Katie's photos. I had to upload everybody else's photos at lower resolutions (which won't look good when printed) in order to get as many photos online as possible. If you want any of the originals for printing just email me and I'll send them to you.
