A FULL CREW FOR A FULL DAY OF WORK!

The crew who helped with cleaning mud went to San Miguel (a city near Vieja) this morning to work. They shoveled quite a bit of mud and carried buckets of it out of homes. They met up with Jim, Pastor Cliff and April at Kairos around lunch and ate together. They stayed to work at the school after lunch in order to dig out a line for footing.

Everyone made it back to the hotel around 6:00 and had dinner together. It has been said that Michelle has taken a really good/interesting picture of Jim that everyone must see. We can only hope to see this soon! :)

Tomorrow a couple of people will go to Mayra's home to sort out the clothing collected for the children, a few will work at the school, and the remainder of the crew will shovel mud.

May God continue to look over them during their journey and the work they are doing.

Today's Guatemalan Fun Fact...
(Taken from http://www.travels.com/)

Guatemala is a Mayan and Toltec phrase that means "land of the trees." Unlike other countries in the Central American region, the name of the country does not come from the Spanish and was eventually adopted by Spain during its colonial period.
