A place where the sun rises at six and sets at five,
Where the people don't need wifi and air conditioning to thrive.
A place astonishing in every direction you gaze,
The time flew by, but here's a glimpse of my first two months on the race:
I first see vibrant shades of blues, browns and greens
Almost as beautiful as all the shy smiles and humble hands that plant various seeds.
I see fellowship work to drown doubt and darkness
And innovative thinking that comes as simply as the coffee beans harvest.
I see a hopeful building and people rejoicing at the top of a steep incline
And a work ethic as persistent as the rain falls in the winter time.
I see a vision multiplying and reaching great amounts
Almost as great as the total number of tortillas we've eaten, I'm talking pounds.
I see a change being made because of a pursued dream and desire
A group of people that have given their lives to serve and inspire.
I see a place where a hunger to learn continues and has no intention to stop
It's worth a bumpy truck ride to the mountain top.
I won't forget the people that taught me and humbled me so,
For this experience I thank Catracho.
Todo la gloria a Dios
