Most of us had lots of trouble waking up this morning, due to the late night of cards, chips, and salsa but sure enough after many tries we were finally woken. After rushing to get ready for the day the group gathered at the mission for a simple breakfast of plain oatmeal. After our bowls of oatmeal the whole group proceeded to go on a tour of San Lucas. while on the tour we saw the women's center, the towns hospital, and the coffee center. At the women's center we learned about the origins of the center and all of the importance that the women's center holds in the community. A local facility coordinator gave us an in depth tour of the towns hospital. The hospital contains 30 beds with limited supplies and staff but manages to save countless lives everyday and provide healthcare to thousands of people each year. We arrived at the coffee plant and got a brief overview of its importance and its purpose. later on in the day all of us chicos hopped in the back of a pick up truck and rode 20 minutes to a village outside of San Lucas to attend a mass. this village was in a very high altitude and didnt contain many people but the mass was very lively and special. we ended the day with the same meal as lunch and doing hundreds of dishes for it was a packed night in the mission.
