Eve of Our Departure

Eve of Our Departure

Bienvenidos todos! (Welcome everyone!) Louise Babikow and I (Emily Wise) have decided to start a blog together to share with family and friends back home in good ole' Lancaster County. In Guatemala and Mexico as we experience many things like culture shock, stomach flus, or new people, we will keep you all updated through recent postings and pictures. If you would like to send us a personal email, our emails are louise.babikow@emu.edu and emily.wise@emu.edu

We are very excited to begin our journey. Tomorrow at 5 am we will depart from EMU's parking lot and travel to Dulles International Airport. Our flight leaves at around 10:15am and we will arrive in Guatemala in a total of around 6 HOURS! Our group plans to spend the first night at CASAS. The next day(Friday), we will meet our host families and travel home with them for the weekend. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. We look forward to sharing small snippets of our adventure with you over the next 4 months.
