Las Conchas

It has been a wild and crazy week! Our internet access has been spotty at best AND we have been very busy. More descriptions will come in the future, but here is a taste of the work we have been doing in Las Conchas, a very, very poor neighborhood in the outskirts of Guatemala city. Yesterday, we mixed concrete BY HAND...yes you heard that right, we used shovels and wheelbarrows and buckets to mix and pour concrete for the foundation of a house. It is back breaking work but it can be fun if you know you only have to do it for a few days! Courtney and Tanner are doing well. They really work hard and I am proud of them. They have bonded with the interpreters and the children in the community to form friendships they will always remember. Mitch and I have had the privilege of seeing friends we made years ago and rekindling the friendships. Please continue to pray for health among our team members and for us to get along well. Togetherness can create tensions....need I say more?
