Greetings to our families and friends back home,
It has been another busy day constructing the preschool. This morning, after devotional time with Pastor Sebastian,
the team moved outside to receive instructions from Felix - the man with the plan. Felix knows exactly how
construction is to progress and the team is ready to work! Felix suggested dividing into 4 work areas: kitchen painting,
floor leveling and forming for concrete in classroom A, hand mixing and pouring concrete in Classroom B, and cleaning
up rented boards. Everyone is very busy and the teamwork is great! For those of you interested in numbers, 3 yards of
concrete has been hand mixed and
poured. Tomorrow the 2nd half of classroom B will be poured and the first half of classroom A. We are accomplishing a
lot. Phil is very pleased and encouraged by the progress we have made.
Janet stayed busy this morning taking pictures of family groups here for clinic appointments. She was able to take
pictures and print a copy right away to give to the people. This is a very popular activity and the children love it. Even
when the ink ran out, they
still wanted to see their photos on the digital camera so there are many good shots. I believe we are seeing many
preschool candidates. The children are having a lot of fun watching us and we do find time to play.
Everything is going great and we are having good quality team time. The weather is beautiful and very cool. This
afternoon it is mid-70s and sunny. Some of us need about 12 blankets at night and a fire in the fireplace.
Salud y Paz from all of us here in Guatemala!
