almolonga, guatemala



one carrot would feed the whole family.

it took almost a full day to get here but it was well worth it. the market was closed when we arrived late but we spent the night in a neighbouring town and returned early the next morning.

we went to the calvary church and met with pastor mariano. there was a funeral that day for someone in their church so the pastor wasn't supposed to be there but the editor and photographer from a newspaper in guatemala city had come to interview him. we lucked out as we and the editor interviewed him about the transformation of almolonga. he said that 33% of the population were born again christians. other than that the rest of the story about the transformation of almolonga is true.
