Building The Wall!

Today we woke up early and after a refreshing breakfast, headed down to the worksite. Our work project this year consists of building a wall around the school that past G-Teams have been working on. The work was difficult and exhausting especially with the high altitude in Guatemala that left us all panting for breath. The work was chaotic and dangerous at times, but the amazing group effort from our entire team and protection from God kept us all safe and allowed us to be very productive.  

After lunch, most of the team headed over to do VBS at a public school
in town. The energy and friendliness of all the kids in attendance was a great encouragement to us. As always, the language barrier can be a difficult obstacle to overcome, but with broken Spanglish, communication is actually quite effective and provides much laughter and fun for both parties. 

We had a day off from church services tonight which gives us time to focus on our vision for the next set of services coming up. We are doing well and are soaking up the Guatemalan culture, sights, and scenes. The food is different and other than a few upset stomachs, it is enjoyable. 

Thank you for your prayers! We are exited to see what the next few days bring our way as we continue to serve God and the Guatemalans.
