So it’s true — our group has now expanded to such gargantuan proportions that we did have to take a school bus to Monte Rico! That school bus trucked 26 people and all of our respective junk down to the Pacific Coast. Monte Rico is the home of the famous “black sand beaches” of Guatemala, and it is absolutely true. The sand is black, and the beaches are gorgeous!
We are staying at the retreat center of CCCG, which was all hand-built by the congregants themselves within the last 7 years or so. It is a beautiful facility, with dorm-style bunk beds (one room for ladies, one for the gents) a kitchen, and an open-air third floor that can be used for classes, meetings, or in our case, a clinic! We will start on that project tomorrow, and I will be back to faithfully blog about it.
Nighty-night, friends!
