Benjamin Franklin once said

“Guests, like fish, begin to smell after 3 days”.

We adjusted that quote this week when our friends, the Oesterblads, visited us from Virginia. The more appropriate quote here in Guatemala, is

“If you are a guest, we’ll probably put you to work after three days.”

We did just that and Team Oesterblad welcomed the opportunity to serve. Our agenda played out something like this: Lots of good eating, Church, prep sand for a new water filter, climb around on some ruins, install a new stove for a family with next to nothing, climb an active volcano, and celebrate New Year’s Eve with the obligatory fireworks (that would be very illegal in most states).

All in all, we had an awesome time with our first official visitors here in Antigua! Take a look at these pics and then make your plane reservations…
