025. Back to Guate: or the day we advance in our greek... invididually

Morning Meeting:

Kata presented today and she shared with us 2 very cool videos from the History Channel one about the Mayan Baktun 13 and the other about Halloween. They were pretty funny and well designed. We were told by Bert that Moris made a complaint about not being notified about our trip on monday, although we do told him two weeks ago that we were leaving so we should plan our lessons in order not to be behind. We also sang the happy birthday to Majo for this 18 birthday!

We worked during our individual time in catching up with our greek and gladly most of all advanced a lot. Even Franz start catching up with his greek and I’m glad because I think he really will enjoy this. Well but when the time arrived Moris didn’t show up... and at the beginning we keep waiting for him but later after a call to remind our principles we start working on greek. We tried to use the presentation but we realized that working in groups according to our level was the best and get the best questions for Moris next time. Some worked individually others worked in pairs of small groups. I worked with Isa and Marce and we had lots of fun checking our answers.  Later in the day we discover that Moris actually send a request to be absent but I thank Bert because if we don’t have the chance to react to this little vicissitudes we won’t be able to develop a stronger culture.  

We also worked on our documentation and let me tell you I was really behind but I discover that I love to do it. I documented Atitlán Trip and it was great. Then we had a dialogue on Self-Reliance the work by Ralph Waldo Emerson and even when it was just a brief overview of the paragraphs I loved it.  The main thing that I got it was that you should start learning to recognize the light in your own thoughts and speak your mind with confidence. The consequence of not doing it as Alejo described it will  to feel bad because someone else would say the same idea and he would be praised and you don’t. With Gaby we started to explore the more spiritual side of it... it is this the mission of your life? is this a mission god gave to you?

After lunch we had Javier Tabush doing and activity called: “The Trip” he red us a story and we had to imagine what he was telling us. Amazing activity he actually made us get really deep into our minds. I imagine visiting Petra and having a plane crash in London.... hehehe pretty intense right?

We had Kyle’s visit who help us to keep working in our programing. We actually made some developments with Grace and Carmen but we were still stuck. But then Kyle help us giving us some hints to improve our work and guess what IT WORKED! Then all groups had to share their findings and Alejo was the first. Honestly I’ve seen Alejo happy many times but today his happiness was different it surrounded him with a glow. The glow of wisdom, maybe?  

Well he explained to us how to find the biggest palindrome number multiplying two numbers of three digits each. Intense right? hehehehe Well he and his group accomplished it. Remarcable. Then it was Diego’s turn and he also was very happy his group problem was how to . Finally Mabe explained his problem and we found that it had a very close relation with ours. Ohhh amazing experience that even when gave me a headache it made me be interested in learning more about programing.

In our diebrifing we agreed that we should dedicate a little bit more time to learn programing since is a beautiful language that make us to think in different ways.
