Review for Mission Guatemala Inc, Indianapolis, IN, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

When I signed up to go on the trip to Guatemala I was a little nervous. While I'd been on mission trips before it was my first time out of the country on a mission trip or otherwise. I was expecting something like humanitarian commercials on TV showing everyone being sad, wasn't expecting much in the way of food either. When we got out of the airport we met our leader for the week, she seemed like a nice person and was dressed nicely. When we got to Panajachel, the place we were to stay didn't look at all how I pictured it. It was beautiful, it had electricity, hot showers, and a bathroom as good as my own. Throughout the week we learned a lot. Whenever we had a question out leader, interpreter, or even drivers were happy to answer as best they could or find out if they didn't know. The food was incredible, way better than what I had pictured and the ladies who made it were so nice. The people I met while there were always smiling and new the names of all the Mission Guatemala people and most of our groups by the end of the week.When we were leaving everyone was sad to go because we had made so many friends. Mission Guatemala has a great operation going and their team leaders are outstanding. They look nice, work hard, and love god.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Work on expanding people's awareness in the US so that they can attract more groups to come.
