Hump Day!

We are officially halfway through the mission trip and beginning to really feel the effects of the last 3 days of hard work, but spirits are high and laughter is often!  We are truly enjoying our time in Guatemala being able to learn more and more about the culture, create relationships with the families, and ministering God's Word. 

Today brought the finishing of the floor in one house and the painting of both houses. We are ahead of schedule on both and plan to have the dedications tomorrow afternoon!  Unfortunately Bob's computer is acting up so we only have pictures from one of the houses, but rest assured, the guys worked very hard today hauling the makings of concrete for the floors and painting the outside of the house! Hopefully tomorrow we can post some of those pictures.  For now, here's what the girls were up to today.......

Diane reaches to make sure every corner is covered in paint!

Gayle scales the ladder to reach the eves!

Apparently if you reach high enough and inhale enough paint fumes, everything becomes funny!!

Kristy has a serious paint roller malfunction.  The worst part....this was roller #2!

                                               

The whole family got involved in painting today!

Today was wash day for many families, as they gathered around the faucets that bring water into this section of town.  We have all decided we can no longer complain about having to "do laundry" in the US by simply bringing clothes down a hallway and pushing a button!

A great many thanks to all of you who are posting comments and keeping us in your prayers.  Rest assured we are checking the blog daily and enjoying your feedback and comments! God Bless!
