I know. I know. It's been a while since I've written on this thing. We've been a bit preoccupied with life. Anyways, Brandon got back from his trip to Guatemala on Sunday. He tells everyone that he had the time of his life. Here are some of the highlights...

Here are some typical homes that the people in the villages outside of Guatemala City live in. notice the roof is held on by cinder blocks. Walls are made of tin or dried up corn stalks.



The blue tubs next to Brandon are used for the community to wash clothes in.



Brandon helped deliver new bunk beds to a family.
