We are 6500 feet up in the mountains of Guatemala, so the weather is quite nice even though we are nearer to the equator.  Highs for the month of March average 79 degrees and then cool off to around 56 degrees at night. We travel during the dry season so we don't usually expect rain.

Packing List
This was my first mission trip and as everyone keeps asking me how my experience was, even though I've said it a million times, I don't think I'll ever get tired of telling our stories - of how God used us for just that one week and how He personally has transformed my heart." Belinda
