I'm back!!!
I had so many wonderful experiences in the last two weeks that I want to share with you all...if I tried to squeeze them all into one post it would be very, very long!
So I'm going to break it up into parts...I'm not sure how many parts though. We were there for fifteen days...but some days I'll combine together so it shouldn't be that many posts :)
To start off, the first photo is our entire group, twenty individuals including the children.
Day 1, Feb. 15th-

My trip actually started on the 14th, when I drove down to Ohio and spent the night at my friend, Alyssa's house. We had to leave around 2 am for the Detroit Airport, so it was easier for me to go with her. There were four of us leaving from Ohio and we met up with another girl at the airport, so there were five of us flying together.

This was my first time flying, so it was a new and interesting experience. It was a lot of fun! We flew from Detroit to Atlanta and from there straight to Guatemala City.

The van we crammed about fifteen of us into for the seven hour ride from the airport to Emilton's home town, Escupula. Emilton is a native Guatemalan and was the mission trip leader. He is standing on the back of the van. I couldn't believe we fit all our luggage and all the people in this van...

We stopped and had dinner at a nice restaurant about two hours into our trip. It was very good food!!

We arrived at Emilton's home very, very late and it was dark so I didn't get pictures of us arriving. Our first day wasn't terribly eventful...the second day saw more action. Check back tomorrow for that post!
