Surviving and Thriving In Uncertain Times - Day 5 (Team Maggie and Caitlin)

Hi friends and family!

Team Maggie and Caitlin checking in here! We are all doing well despite the recent “amoeba bug” that got a majority of our team – the good news is that we are all feeling better and looking forward to participating in service tomorrow.

Yesterday our group members who were feeling well went out during the morning for a tour of the San Lucas hospital, women’s center, Café Juanana coffee making place, and school. 

In the afternoon, we set out for our first service project, working on building a wooden home for one of the families in San Lucas.

Today more healthy group members joined us for a service opportunity in the morning which consisted of doing some “spring” cleaning for the mission center. In the afternoon, all of our group members were in attendance for a coffee making demonstration and sampling at the Café Juanana coffee laboratory. We also helped in the coffee making process by sorting coffee beans.

Although many of us might not be feeling our best, we are on the up rise of recovery and looking forward to the rest of our service time in San Lucas. Thank you all for your prayers and please continue to keep us in your thoughts during the rest of our stay in Guatemala!
