ok so its about time i get around to this...you've all probably been waiting(right?) i've been wanting to update you all but i've been blog lazy ;) starting tonight, my blog will be a running series on my mission trip Quetzaltenango, Guatemala; Xela for short. This is just the intro and my next posts will include thoughts, pictures and events that occurred in Xela (shayla).

First, I will let you know why I went to Guatemala...it was for a short-term missions trip: 1 week. we were building up the second story of a Bible school. our task at hand was to put up the walls and form the outline for the windows...the walls were made of concrete block and the outline for the windows were made of rebar and twisted wire...but i must admit, it was enjoyable.
There's just something about working hard for Jesus that's just soooo addicting...okay maybe addicting is the wrong word its---okay well i dont know what the right word is but i do know for sure that it is a TOTALLY different feeling than just working at McDonald's
ALL of last week was just so memorable but i am really glad i journaled it...i mean memories can only last so long but if you have it written down they'll last forever right? either way Guatemala will be written on my heart for years to come as will the work we did and people we met.
