Thank you Bethlehem Lutheran for all of your donations and the beautiful bags!! They made it to Guatemala!
Rita hard at work making gravel out of rocks.
Kate and Rita digging dirt out of gaps with rebar in preparation for cement pillars.
This is our mode of transportation to work each morning...they pick us up on the church steps.
Jennifer hauling wheelbarrow loads of dirt that was spread on an area up a hill to possibly plant grass...we are not really sure this is our best guess.
Bruce and Rita investigated an early morning noise and found a man grinding corn. The women of the town use the mash to make tortillas.
Lesson of the day: We have found that the lastest trend at the mission is dirty clothes...people seem to know exactly which work sites we were at based on how dirty our clothes are. There are many different groups working with us at the mission and they have been inspirational to us...one group from Oak Grove wears shirts that say Somos Uno which means We Are One...we must never forget this...we are one with the people we are at the work sites with and we are one with the people of Guatemala. Barb and Rita also saw one of the doctors they worked with yesterday whose shirt said Easy Day was Yesterday, and as we feel our energy draining each day we sit here thinking...please do not let that be true!! Peace and Blessings to you all, please keep us in your prayers.
Be strong and courageous and know that you are loved. He will give you the strength you need to do the work He wants you to do. We love you and miss you.
