Friday, Nov. 29th

It has been a productive last day for all of us at San Lucas.

Our day started for some with mass with Father Kurt followed with breakfast.  Jaclyn, Katherine, Tim, Karen, Sillviano & Sherry hiked the mountain across from Lake Alitlan .  The hike took two hours and from the top there was a beautiful of San Lucas. Coming down was very interesting. J

Today we finished the stove we had started earlier in the week. Some of us also went to the medicinal herb garden and the Women’s Center. In the herb garden the herb’s that we shucked turned our hands bright orange! They will probably still be orange when we get back.

This is the last day we will spend with the wonderful people of San Lucas but it was also the beginning for two Guatamalens. Nichole Paladie was on a mission here four years ago and she made a promise to two San Lucas residents. Today that promise was fulfilled. Nichole, with the group, delivered two pet carts and now these two people have means to get around without the use of their legs. God bless you Nichole. You gave two people hope and so much love, the love radiated from their faces and their families.

We have all had some awesome experiences throughout the week. It has been a blessing for all of us.
