On the 1st of April 2012 06:00 am WYW received our first challenge and our deadline was the 3rd of April 13:00 pm... Our challenge wasn't for the faint-hearted, we had to travel from Panajachel, Guatemala to Cancun, Mexico.. Which is about 1400 km with very little food and water, we also and a very limited budget of 260Q (R264) per person.. We took 6 chicken-busses from Panajachel to the Mexican border and during that time we saw how amazing GOD's provision is. GOD really helped us during this tough time. After the border we took 2 taxi's to San Chirstobal where we slept in a bus/taxi rank..
We woke up the next morning and we had to have 300 Pestos per person (we only had 250 Pestos each) to get from San Chrisobal to Cancun. We prayed and we had a 'blikskud' session and after making 180 Pestos the bus driver made an exception and let us get on the bus.. We had no money left what so so ever but GOD gave us food and water.. After a very long, tough and tedious bus trip that lasted about 20 hours which wasn't the most fun trip.
We really prayed a lot just so that we can focus on the task at hand.. Some of us really struggled with the heat and the lack of personal space. But we finally made it in Cancun, the only problem was that we didn't know where our accomodation was and we walked for more than a hour and a half. But we made it, thank you LORD!! :)
Me in the freezer because of the heat :) This is the result of hunger...
