Day 9: new city(Sebastian G)

Day 9 Sebastián Garcia  

     It was another average day in San Lucas. We woke up at the same time and to the same breakfast. Today was different though. Instead of our first activity relating to work we instead went to San Lucas own deforestation. There we receive an interesting talk from Toribo leader of the deforestation project. He explained to us how the land is a gift from God and we should work to protect it. Creating the joke it's not Guatemala it's Guatebonita. He told us how he is working to teach the children the importance of taking care of the land. Giving him a bottle filled with trash. The children receive their own sapling to plant themselves. Finishing his talk Toribo took us to his house to show us a Mayan alter where we would later go to watch a Mayan ritual. 
     The next part of the day we headed to the women's center for our own life skills course. The women their taught us how to make tortillas, wash cloths in a pila, and balance a tub on the top of our heads. Each student tried this tasks to the best of their abilities. One student fell to his back while trying to balance the tub of cloths on his head. Luckily though he was to catch the tub before it spilled. Towards the end the women treated us all to some pie. 
     The day was coming to an end and the last activity of the day was a fun soccer game with the workers of the mission. Each saints men got a chance to show his skills in the field. Divided each team faced off with different opponents. In the beginning the saints men showed their power against the opposing teams. Yet towards the end the workers team showed their strength. Still in the end their were no winners or losers in was just another fun experience.
