Today was a great day in Guatemala. Today we divided up and made three groups. We had two construction groups and one school group. We started out with a great breakfast and headed out for out day.
The original construction site worked to finish replacing their roof and porch. We also worked to rewire their house. The team worked very hard to complete the tasks. At the end of the day there was just a little more to finish on the roof tomorrow. However, the electricity was complete. it was amazing to watch them pull the chain on the lights and see them come on. Their faces were full of smiles when the lights came on. Previously they had to twist the bulb to make the light come on and wires were exposed. It really was a great day at worksite #1.
At the school students continued to play with the children. Each day we have worked with two different grades yesterday they worked with second and fourth graders. The school serves grades K-Sixth which is about 300 students. Yesterday they made cross necklaces. Each day they sing and play and share the love of Jesus. It may be hard for them to use words to explain how they feel. Their smiles are amazing and their eyes show their excitement and love. It was also a great day at at the school.
We started a new work project today. Upon arrival they found a corn field and began to clear the area where a new home was to be built. They also found spiders. I will let them share all the details because some of you may stop reading at the mention of spiders. They got off to a great start and will continue tomorrow and start the foundation. It was a great day at worksite #2.
Students continue to serve with every ounce they have. You would be proud of their attitudes and commitment. Pray as they continue tomorrow on the final work day. Pray that they will finish strong and work safe. Pray they will continue to soak up the experience and learn from their surroundings. Pray as we continue to show the love of God with the people the last day. Pray we may leave a lasting impact on on them.
Thanks for your continued support and your prayers for everyone.
