Weather here is unstable, however it is better than the boston. there's a lot of rain here and lots of thunder and lightning. the favorable weather is only complimented by the polite and geniune people in guatemala, another thing i find to be rare in the united states, people just seem nicer. Guatemala reminds me of Jamaica especially with the beautiful view of mountains and hills. everything is also cheaper here so my wallet has been happy about that

However the need for water has been amplified in guatemala. i've found myself getting headaches due to dehydration. but most likely the worst of the negatives is the water. consume the slightest bit of tap water and youll find yourself sprinting to the bathroom. i thought it was funny when the chaperones talked about being cautious with water, but let me tell you it a force to be reckoned with. do not underestimate the power of the stomach aches followed by diarhea, it can break your day

I'm in construcasa, and after a week of working with the gentlemen at the site i have observed how resourceful, strong, and intelligent these people are. i only hope that everything went well with the house and that Jesus' family is safe
