Dream and aspiration

Good day people! This week is finals week. People are really dreading this week. Every status on facebook is related to studying. The library is ridiculously packed. Me? I have not yet started studying. I should start that as soon I am done with this blog.


WELL. For this week I do not have a topic to talk about. So I guess I will share with my infinite amount of readers my plans for the summer. First is to work, work, work. I have a guarenteed job but its part time. That is just the beginning and of course hanging out with the friends is in my agenda for sure. The biggest thing and what I cannot wait is my trip this upcoming summer. Hopefully it can come true and I really pray to God to allow it. I have never been on a trip other than visiting family in Guatemala, a mission trip to Nicaragua, and family in Rhode Island. I have never been a tourist and this time I will be. More than a tourist I want to see the reality of the people on this trip. My trip will begin with a two-week volunteer community service in Costa Rica. I got that part almost on-lock just need to deposit some money. After that I want and I have faith I will travel through Central America. Two countries that are not on my agenda this time is Panama and Belieze. After Costa Rica, I will go to Nicaragua where the church I helped build. I have met good people in Nicaragua and I want to see what I can do. Maybe interview people on how their lives consist of, living conditions, work etc. After a couple of days I will hopefully travel to Honduras. I have no connections what-so-ever but hopefully I will find some. After Honduras, or if I do not have the opportunity to go to Honduras, After Nicaragua I will head to El Salvador. There I have connections to churches and hopefully some of Oscar Torres (watch Voces Inocentes and find out who he is). So after spending time there I will head to my native Guatemala. I will see my family but this time I really want to be a tourist. I have never seen the ruins of Peten or the lake Panajachel (Atitlan). I want to revist Antigua Guatemala, build connections with Jorge H. Lopez. After time in Guatemala I will come back home. The only major obstacle is the money. I can get the money for the 2 weeks in Costa Rica but after that I need money for food and airfares. Airfares would accumalate to about 2000 dollars. YIKES! But I put my trust in God and somehow I will get the money. Even in this economy I will find a way. I had just had the idea of if you guys would like to donate money. I will take even a penny. Everything accumalates and more than the money, the encouragement given. I thank you all the time you take to read my posts. God Bless and Good luck on your finals!!
