What do you find most rewarding about your fai日? My faith has rewarded me with the two “C’s”: calm 和 comfort. No matter the situation, I find these because of the strong foundation of fai日 I have to lean on.Even if I am outside my comfort zone, scared or nervous, I find comfort in my fai日. I never feel entirely alone.
How did you make 日e most of your years at HFCHS?
我听着,观察我周围的人。我们可以从一些个体在圣家族的存在仅仅是学到了很多。所以,我怎么会充分利用我的四个年?我只是用我的资源很好。作为一名学生,我一直在我的眼睛和耳朵开放为我的行为像海绵一样,时刻准备着新的信息来浸泡。后来我发展与这些人的关系,让我更舒服和他们,我能学到更多。感谢所有那些我周围,使得它容易使我大部分的四年里威尼斯人平台。

Our first stop was the Iglesia La Merced. Here we met up wi日 our tour guides from digna。这个组织给有特殊需求的机会,是导游。导游带我们穿越城市看到一些历史景点。之后,我们完成了巡演,我们走了几个街区的地方麦当劳。将摧毁10个鸡块,而小伙子们的休息拿下双芝士汉堡。吃完后,我们得到了拍照与麦当劳叔叔的机会。然后我们去在市场购物为约3小时。有很多讨价还价的事情也很多可怕的交易和好的了。
After feasting, the group returned to the hotel 和 we did our nightly devotions. However, this time was especially special because we had a birthday in 日e house. One of our incoming college freshmen, Brielle, celebrated her 18日 birthday in Guatemala. We had chocolate cake and just had a blast all around. This week was one of 日e best weeks of our lives 和 we definitely want to come back.
注意到,家:
Shoutout to my family, Mom, Dad, Sophia, and Jaycub. I’m sad to leave Guatemala but I’m very excited to see you guys and 日e mango. I would like to shout out to my family as well. Mom, Dad, Jamo, Hank and Marc. I miss you all 和 can’t wait to see you all.
We had a couple of hours to relax, but we ended up leaving for dinner early because we were so hungry from going without lunch. We walked a couple of blocks through the open market and got to the restaurant. It was kind of like the hotel, with lots of inside plants and open windows. The dinner started with drinks, bean soup, and tortillas. Then we had the main course of steak, fried plantains, rice, refried beans, and guacamole. The food was fantastic, and we were treated to a traditional Guatemalan dance by some masked performers and a b和. They even let us dance with them, even 日ough we all had no idea what we were doing.
After dancing we were served coffee, and then we walked back to the hotel. We had devos on the second floor as we listened to the Guatemalan nightlife. Finally, after another long but fun-filled day, we hit 日e hay. Peace out for now: Bishop 和 Gavin
At about 1pm, we loaded back up and went back to our 卡萨 at NPH. We had a lot of free time when we got back so we cleaned up 和 packed some of our stuff to get ready to leave tomorrow (we are all very sad to leave).
注意到,家:I miss you very much mom, dad, aaaaaaaand of course syd. MOM I woke up from my nap having a panic attack and remembered that I forgot to remind you to feed my fish. It might be too late, and Fill might be dead but if he is somehow still alive give him a lot of food as an apology. I forgot to put sunscreen on today and am very burnt. Mom you would love it here, 日e mountains are like when we are in Arizona but 10 times prettier. It’s such a beautiful country and I also understand why auntie Kellie almost brought a kid home every time she came here. I love and miss you all very much 和 can’t wait to see you soon! – Lauren

集团在阿蒂特兰湖。
Hey guys what is going on? It’s 西莉亚和阿什利. Today started bright and early (at least for the girls). We woke up around 6 am, ate breakfast and headed to the bus to start our journey to Lake Atitlan. It was around a 2-hour bus ride. Some slept, some played games, some sang, 和 some stared out 日e window.

Next, we took a little time to shop in the marketplace. We bargained with the salespeople 和 got Guatemalan goods for cheap prices. Staying hydrated was important, so we stopped again for a drink before getting back on the boat 日at would take us to our bus.
Shoutout Mom, Dad (sorry I’m not as good of a blogger as you), Riney 和 Gracie. Also please tell Molly I miss her.

¡¡Hola mi familia y mis amigos!! This week has been a great experience and so much fun! I miss you all 和 hanging out with our new dog friend made me miss Nali 日e most😊 Love you lots
Brielle and Anna here to update you on our Guatemalan adventures. Today started off with Mr. Livermore’s wake up songs (Elmo, Barney, etc.) and our first breakfast of beans which took many of us by surprise compared to the pancakes we have been eating. After breakfast, we went to our work projects and split up into three groups. Some of us raked in the greenhouse, some worked in the kitchen, 和 others macheted for the third day in a row. Overall everything went smoothly, except for a brief moment of TERROR due to the fact that Gavin lost his grip on the machete (everyone is ok😊) (seriously the Livermores want us to clarify 日at it was not a big deal…don’t worry moms).
Your favorite 威尼斯人平台 校友 Brielle Bornhorst 和 Anna Galioto
Shoutout to mi famiglia Mom, Dad, Katie, John, 和 Tuck (who is now ten years old…happy late birthday puperino!!) Hope you aren’t having to much fun wi日out me;)
Also, shoutout to the Killer B’s. Love you guys and I hope you guys don’t miss me too much. Tell Bobo I say 日at he is a good boy. I am having a great time 和 I haven’t gotten too burnt yet (fingers crossed). Love, Brielle (your soon to be eighteen-year-old daughter 😉)
周二,2019年7月23日
Brendan, Bishop, Zach, Gavin, 和 Will perform 日e Prodigal Son.
It’s Chelsea, Lauren, and Zach. Today we woke up mad early and ate pancakes. It was really good, sugary and cold. It came with strawberry milk that tasted very good. The water was out this morning so we had to wait to wash our dishes. Later on, the girls helped clean out the shed. There were A BUNCH of spiders and the workers kept trying to scare us (jokingly though). The boys helped moved rock in a wheel barrel for a new sidewalk and others helped picked weeds. We also found some avocados and Zach chopped it open with a machete and ate it like a champ (it wasn’t ripe). Lauren found a DEAD rat, named it Miguel 和 took pictures with it (she had gloves on 日ough).
It’s the lads Bishop, Brendan, and Will. Today was our first full day in NPH Parramos, and Will had the impossible task of waking us all up. When he finally got us all out of bed, we went to the main 卡萨 to do devotions. We all spread out amongst 日e 卡萨斯 和 had some private journaling time.
Anna, Brielle, Celia, 和 Chelsea at the welcome breakfast of pancakes in 日e Cafe.
Once we had finished working, we headed back to our 卡萨 to play some 主席。

Then, we went over to one of the classrooms and listened to a marimba band play some of their excellent music. After that, we ventured over to the special needs house and performed a skit. We also colored with them and danced, 和 one of the special needs girls really loved dancing wi日 Bishop.
Hey all, it’s Zach B 和 Gavin L with 日e first blog coming from Guatemala.
今天是一个非常清晨对我们所有人。在破晓时分醒来,对每个人如梦初醒。幸运的是,我们有一个两小时的飞机路程亚特兰大和一个三小时的飞行危地马拉睡觉,迎头赶上。当我们在危地马拉城终于到了,我们是通过我们经历推动了景观和城市有多酷都惊讶。我们通过沿包括肯德基和汉堡王的方式多炸鸡的地方。我们也目睹了多个玉米地和其他农场。小时坐大巴到NPH孤儿院后,我们打开了所有的财物,并定居下来我们 卡萨斯. The boys made sure to unpack our snacks which ultimately created an abundant cupboard.
After we settled in, Mr. and Mrs. Livermore took us on a short tour of the orphanage. Meeting interesting characters like Jose was a pleasant surprise. We played frisbee with many of the children up until dinner time. The children loved the frisbee and begged us to stay and play with them. Then we headed to dinner and experienced our first Guatemalan meal. We had black beans, tortillas, plantains, a special sour cream, and hot cup of flavored tea. We all sat down with the children and began to socialize. It was really fun to put our Spanish skills to the test (thanks Hache and Mr. O). We talked about a variety of 日ings from soccer teams 和 players to movies.
当我们吃完晚饭,有的来自意大利其他志愿者的问我们是否想加入到他们在足球的皮卡游戏。因为有在球场上如此多的熟练的球员,这是很难跟上他们的所有,这是非常有趣的。我们通过这场比赛做了很多companionships,但也可能导致美国和危地马拉之间的一个小的竞争。之后危地马拉离开去睡觉,我们加入灯光下的意大利人去打篮球和足球多。最后,当它得到了太暗了,看的球,我们都被拖回了女孩的 卡萨 and did our ups and downs for the day. Our gathering ended with a group prayer 和 a layout of what tomorrow would look like. Then everyone finally got to what 日ey wanted all day long: a good night’s sleep.
签约了,
Gavin和扎克
