Travel Tuesday: Guatemala

It feels like time is going so fast lately! In honor of it being Tuesday, I've decided to share a little bit about my trip to Guatemala a few years ago. My junior year of college I decided to sign up for a mission trip to Guatemala during my Spring Break. The beautiful thing about mission trips is you start off as strangers with this group of people who also are giving up their time and money in order to help others and serve the Lord, and you wind up becoming SO close. While there, we worked with an organization called WorldWide Hands. It was a ton of work, but we definitely got some free time to explore as well. Here are a few of my favorite memories:

This is our leaders for the trip praying and preparing for the day. Also, look at that view! This is where we stayed for the majority of the week. I don't know what it is about this photo, but I love it.

Our job for the week was to move ALL those cement blocks onto the second floor. We were all tuckered out at the end of each day.

That would be me hanging out with all the adorable nuggets during lunchtime. Their school was literally right next door to the new school we were building.

At a random bus stop taking in the view and the mountains. Guatemala was so naturally breath-taking. It was such a nice change to wake up and see mountains everywhere!

Have you ever traveled to Guatemala or south of the United States?
