Wow! Today was an amazing day and we accomplished so much. At 7:30 a.m., some of us got up early and climbed up the mountain behind the house. With the dog tagging along, we began our ascent up the mountain. Most of us were tired after the first 15 minutes, but when we got the top, boy was it worth it!

After we got back, we headed to a school where we did all of our dances and skits. It was so cool to see all of the kids smiling and laughing.

I shared the story of how my relationship with God has grown since my family moved from California to Texas. We also gave each student some colored pencils and a pencil sharpener.

Next was probably the most exciting part of the trip so far: the Amazing Race: Guatemala edition. We had to go to different places in the village of Santiago and complete different tasks: Buy 4 chicken heads, eat 2 avocados, take a canoe into the lake, and try on the local indigenous clothes. The first team back would be the winner and, luckily, my team won!

Once we got back to the house, we got back to work. We were sanding, tiling, washing cars, hauling wood, and some of the guys were building a fence. Tomorrow is our last day to finish our projects, so we have to hurry. See you all soon!

Adios,
