On my way back home

We head home today. Pray for us as we travel. Our hearts are forever changed by these people and this country. I pray that you have gained a little bit of insight about the real Guatemala. Thank for your support in this journey. May God bless you!

The feeding of the 500

Today, we finished up all 4 greenhouses. It was a pretty incrediable sight.  We dedicated the greenhouse to the Lord. Our prayer is that God will use these greenhouses to feed many Guatemalans.Today, we finished up all 4 greenhouses.


   
This afternoon we went to the dump. It was very tough.  The medical team had a really long day. The medical team say approximately 500 people.  The people were so needy. Most of the people live in the village in a little shack, but they spend there days in the dump digging through the trash looking for food and things they can sell.  The cows and the people are digging through the same trash.

When I arrived at the dump about lunch time the line to see the doctors and the nurses was extremely long.


When we feed them lunch it was mass chaos. They brought any kind of container they could find.  Some people just had pails to put their food in.


Pray for these people.  They have absolutely nothing.  The only real food they recieve is the food the mission provides for them three times a week.  It is heartwrenching.

Beunos Noches!!

This tardes (afternoon), our team had a lovely time exploring the nearby town of Chiquimula.  We shopped in the market and in two local grocery stores.  It was truly a cultural experience. In most of the stores you had to bargain for everything you bought.  It was rather difficult to know the true value of an item, but I think we came out all right. Street vendors were everywhere selling fruit, vegetables, clothes, shoes, and cd's. Traffick was bumper to bumper. 


















Pray for us as we finish up our work tomorrow and as we visit the people who live in the dump. Love you guys!

Faith can move mountains......or maybe just bolders



The construction team just finished three of the greenhouses. It was a lot of hard work. Today, we dug wholes for a couple of hours. The greenhouses are built in a "rock garden". Every time we would go to dig a hole we would hit a rock, but by the grace of God we made it:)
