A lot has gone on in the past 3 days.  Everyone has been busy and with various jobs.  There are relationships being built among the team members as well as with new and re-acquainted friends from Guatemala.  It's amazing to witness the excitement and love as those from past trips are jumped on and loved immediately by the kids.  It is also special to see those making the trip for the first time, as they bond with those around them.

Saturday we got right to work in various work teams.  A large project was staining all of the wood that would soon be used to build a new swing set/activity center for the school here.  Others worked on a remodel project in the intern home, and there was a crew that was plating ivy around the property.

Sunday was a day of rest and fellowship as we all loaded up and were off to church.  It is awesome to see the kids here as they are so excited to learn more and more about the Lord!!!  Two hours of praise and worship was an emotional start to our day.  Later in the day Sunday is always an exciting time as there are no projects and there is bonding time to play with the kids.  Soccer and Four Square were the games of choice and broke any language barrier.

Monday, WORK, WORK, WORK!!!  The swing set is ahead of schedule, as the rain held off!  Looking to pick up on that Tuesday.  The goal is to get to see the kids enjoy it prior to our departure Friday.  Additional projects on Monday included tree trimming for the safety of the property as well as painting of the dining hall.

Please enjoy several photos of the past few days until we can post more!
