The following reflection was submitted Maria Morawa. Maria Morawa was one of our two student leader for the Guatemala trip and was making her second visit to San Lucas.
"I went both years, and it was really cool to see the way the
two trips were so different because of the different dynamics of the groups. It
was wonderful to have people recognize me and to get to see all of the
beautiful people and sights again. My favorite part of the trip is definitely
the people, but one of the moments that sticks out to me the most from both
years is the children's mass. Tim and I were running late to breakfast, but we
saw children going into the church and so we peeked in and realized it was the
children's mass. We decided to stay for mass. The children sing at the top of
their voices, and they're all so beautiful. They kept turning around and
looking at us and smiling. It was so nice to see children singing at mass and
being so happy to be there. It really showed off the grateful and joyful spirit
of the Guatemala people, and it's one of the moments I really hold dear. The
trip was an experience that challenged me to look at life with grateful eyes
and a joyful heart."
