Hola from Guatemala!

Hello everyone!
To put everyone at ease, we are all doing well! We have done a lot of traveling, and working. We have all been excited to experience and see new things. It has been amazing to see how God is bringing our team together so wonderfully! There is never a dull moment in our group.

Here is an update on all that we have been doing.
We arrived in Guatemala City on thursday night and got all settled in at our hotel and got to meet the missionary family that we would be working with. Then on friday we went to the pools and saw some people from the church we are working with get baptized. It was great to see and we also got to spend time with some children from the church. It was a nice day to settle in and soak in culture. Then, on saturday we got to work to clean and paint the children´s room at the church. Before that though we had to move alot of very heavy bricks and bags....we will be coming back very buff! On sunday we went to church which was quite the experience! We spent the beginning with the children then we joined the adults to worship, take communion and hear the message. After church we packed up our stuff to head to the lake. I was a 4 hour car ride. The lake is so beautiful! we are excited to share pictures with you when we come back!

Then, this morning we got up and went to work in a village called San Juan. We are building a kitchen for the pastor in the town. The involves sifting an incredible amound of dirt, moving cinder blocks, cutting cinder blocks, layibng mortar and much much more.

It has been an incredible experience and we are very excited to continue to update you all! But rest assured that we are all well :)
