Today, we hiked an active volcano called Pacaya! The hike was pretty nice going up, even though it was a little steep and rocky. The view was incredible! Partway up to the top, we roasted marshmallows using the heat coming from the rocks on the volcano, and they were delicious! The whole time, we could see smoke coming from the top of the volcano which was pretty cool in itself. On the way back down, some of us ran down a slope which was a little dangerous but toally worth it! We all came back with black legs from the dirt.
Our group has had kind-of a stressful week due to some different things but this weeks worship service as a group was really great! I´m on the music team so I get to help plan and lead the services and that´s been really fun for me. (Side note: our group is very rarely without a song. We have many people in our group who love music, and especially in car rides we will burst into song!) Along with our typical scripture, singing and prayer we took communion together which was a very special bonding experience for all of us. On Friday, we had a debriefing session with the CASAS staff and talked about our most favorite and least favorite parts of the trip so far, and how we are feeling. It was really cool to hear everyone share. Most of us could not narrow our favorite part down to just one thing! :) Tomorrow, we are visiting Casa de Dios, the biggest fastly growing churches here in Guatemala. We just talked with a professor from CASAS about the religions and churches in Guatemala so it should be an interesting experience. Tomorrow is also the superbowl...yes, I do know that even though I´m in Guatemala. I probably won´t be watching but I hope all of you have fun! :)
