In a few days, a large group of students from Belmont will be arriving in Guatemala for a trip that will no doubt change them in some profound way.  I stepped off the plane almost four years ago in the same manner, excited but unprepared for what lay among the mountain ranges and volcanoes in my new frontier.  Hilary and I have been preparing rigorously for their arrival, trying to be the best hosts we can in our current home.  Our only words of advice are to come open-minded, but with a passion for the experience.
