Gabriela Nicole Díaz-Avellaneda: A day at the Education Site is pretty special. We usually have two classes a day—one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Because the Education Site specifically serves elementary-aged children, the kids are small, energetic, and loud!

Natalia Michelle Díaz-Avellaneda: Today, my dad and I walked to the Ministry Site a bit earlier than usual because my parents were leading worship. Worship consists of two songs before the devotional and one right after.
REY DIAZ: A new week has come, and with it, the opportunity to extend grace. After our customary breakfast time with Doña Rafaela, we headed to the Students International (SI) base for a quiet time in the scriptures, corporate worship, and a devotional. After an intentional time of worship, we headed to our work sites. Today, I’m back with the Sponsorship Team.
CAMILA SOFIA DIAZ: Hi everyone! Both of our teams went to Antigua today, which is one of the oldest and most historic cities in Guatemala. We started our morning with a tour of the city, visiting some beautiful, historic Catholic churches.
GABRIALA NICOLE DIAZ: I work at the Education Ministry Site and today we did home visits.
NATALIA M. DIAZ AVELLANEDA: Today was our second full day doing site ministries. The day started around sunrise - 5:30. We ate breakfast with our host, Señora Rafaela. She made us some breakfast, which is always delicious. After we were done with breakfast we finished getting ready and headed to the Plaza. We then met up with the rest of the people that came this week from the US: a group of six from Crown College and one individual. We all walked together to the Community Center, which is a breathtaking experience, both from the view and hills.
REY DIAZ: After a surprising uneventful traveling day where every single aspect from Dan Johnston transportation to RIC Airport to connection flights were as scheduled and planned, we arrived to busyness of Guatemala City.
