From Creed

Hello it is Creed. Two days ago we left from Ollanta and met our host families in Chilca. Its amazing here. I can’t believe the conditions many of these people live in. No hot water, some don’t even have flush toilets. I am staying with Bryce and Corey. We got to know our host family pretty well at dinner the first night. We have two little brothers Fabian Agosto 14, and Juan Diego Who is 5. The next day we started our work. Before we began we had a little ceremony to bless the work site. This man came and made some gift with some pretty bizarre stuff in it. He had a llama fetus and marshmello bunnies among other things. We each got to choose our own cocoa leaves that went into the gift. I was confused the whole time so it was probably a bad explanation. We began moving rocks in an assembly line which worked well. After work we played soccer with many of the local boys. That was a lot of fun. Sam caught a small stomach bug and isn’t going to be working with us today. He gets to sleep instead. We are working right now, moving more rocks and making the adobe. This afternoon we are going to be doing some ceramics back in Ollanta. Our leaders, Jason and Alecia are great. Peace.
