experience was a mission trip. In February I was given the opportunity to go to Guatemala and build very tiny houses for families who lived in the mountains. Every village we visited were different but they all had two things in common‚ laughter and thankfulness. I am still amazed and in awe of how the Guatemalans were filled with joy with the little that they had‚ they had a strong appreciation for the lives that they lived‚ they were simply thankful. Before I had gone on this trip I was not aware of

Tired of waiting around bored a few of us start a game of euchre‚ just the first of many for this trip.

Keightley Bertram. I felt so lucky to be included in such a trip‚ adopted for a week by Keightley’s family to celebrate her birthday in style. Such an awesome party it was going to be‚ with an unlimited amount of space‚ people‚ and lack of restrictions. This was definitely going to be a trip to be remembered. That first breath of humid tropical air in the morning a refreshing change from the dry mountain air of home. All the memories of the plane trip and the many wasted classroom hours spent day dreaming
