Photos from the last blog

Alright, here are the photos that correspond with the last blog. I hope you all enjoy them.





I want to say thank you to grades 5,6,7, and 8 at Holy Trinity for letting me come to their school and for participating in the presentation I gave. I hope you all enjoyed the presentation and that you were able to have answered some of your questions. Just remember, if you ever have questions, feel free to email me and I will be happy to answer them, though it may take some time for me to answer them. Also thank you so much for raising over $300 so that some kids from my community can go to school next year. You guys made quite the effort, especially considering all the funds came from 50-cent suckers!





I also want to say thank you to everyone who came by to visit me while I was back home this past week, especially considering gas prices and a limited time window. You all made me feel so humbled in doing so. Your support and friendship and love and prayers are the best things that I could ever get and take with me to Guatemala. My time home was amazing, and I have all of you, especially Mom, Dad, Charlie, and Katie to thank for it.













Here are one of the families that made one of their worm composts. I think it is so cool and important that the whole family pitches in to do these little projects.






First the wall was gridded into squares and so was a small drawing of the world. Then we began drawing what was in one square on the small world map into a corresponding square on the wall. I think it turned out well, but the sketch the most precise. Once the painting began, we lost our good boarder we drew and lost some entire islands when painting the Pacific.


Sorry to the people from the Philipines. Your country is present, but I am not sure if you are going to find all your islands on the map.




The map is starting to come along. We 3 volunteers who live in or near San Carlos are tracing the country borders and the kids are filling them in.


The process got to be a bit tiresome, especially since we were in the sun and I had broken my 4th and last pair of sunglasses earlier in the day.
