Our Wonderful Mission Trip Guide - Guatemala '09

Luis Alvarado, a US citizen who has a passion for the people and culture of Latin America, served as our July 14 - 21 Guatemala mission team guide.

Luis speaks Spanish fluently and was able to answer almost every question we threw at him, causing me to wonder how much prize money he would win if he became a contestant on Jeopardy!

Thanks to Luis, the people on our team who became ill were able to receive help at a local clinic and receive the medicine we needed. He also worked side by side with us each day in the hot sun as we dug the trench for the water line.
