Potato Farming...and Corn Seed Protests...



September 22, 2014


Family,
Well this week was....... OK.  
Calla lilies grow in the wild.  They were all over the place.

First of all, let's just say we had to stay in the house for 2 entire days for protesting in Guatemala. It's because the government wants to change the corn seed that they use but everyone is against it. So here in san Juan they blocked all of the exits and closed all of the stores and everything. They are actually pretty violent and for that reason we didn't leave our house for those days but we lived. Sad to say that they are going to start tomorrow again. So we bought a bunch of water and food for the next couple of days. They told us that these same protest went on for 20 days in Peru so we are going to see how it goes. Other than that we had a pretty normal week. I really don't have much to say other than I love you guys so much and can't wait to see you.

Pointing at the work we did today.  Pretty sure it isn't how they do it in Idaho!
