Hey all!

So it's our fourth day now in Guatemala. Everyone is scurrying around trying to get ready for our day. Dishes are being washed. everyone is making our own lunches and gathering all the supplies for the day. The medical team (Edgar, Lynn, Christin) will be continuing their health check-ups at the school. Part of the team will be at the school singing our Spanish songs and performing the puppet show. The other part will be continuing the work for building a house. This is where my location is.

Yesterday we dug and flattened a 12x10 space in muddy manure and made 4 deep holes, all in the RAIN! Thank goodness I have some construction experience due to those years in the Navajo reservation, but I'm still uneasy when it comes to construction. The houses here are very simple- 4 long pieces of wood and sheet metal for the walls and roof. We are building this house for a women and her 3 children. Currently she lives in a 10x10 space with 10 others. We meet her and her children along with many other children and women. They watched us the whole time we were there. We did get a chance to play with them a little when the rain started falling hard. They love our cameras. This entertains them for hours!

The weather is nicer today, praise GOD! The warm sun shined on us during breakfast. We had a powerful debriefing last night, the enemy of God has started his work on our team. Greg and Gloria did an awesome job guiding us in a Godly way. We all took turns encouraging each other and I can really tell the difference in everyone's spirits today.

Thank you for your continued prayers. Please pray for our health, a few are feeling under the weather. Please also pray for unity and to trust in GOD as our friend and Savior.

I love you all and can't wait to share more stories and pictures with you when I return.

God is Great!
