A team of thirty nine folks (37 from Alabama and 2 from Mississippi) arrived in Guatemala on Thursday, 6/11.  They came in three different waves – 11:00AM; 12:00PM and 9:00PM.  Everyone arrived safely and for that we are most grateful.

So, today, 6/12, was really our first day of being together as a team.  Dr. Mike & Miss Dottie Clark came to our morning worship time and Dr. Mike brought us a good word from the Word.  It is always so great to have them join us and his messages are always spot on!

All but five of the team then headed West to build houses.  The first morning always means leaving later than normal so we did not actually get to the work site until around 11:00AM.  We were greeted by rain shortly thereafter and it stayed with us the rest of the day.  In spite of that, we were able to get six houses built with three of those receiving the concrete.  Three more were built up to the point of only needing the top to be finished.  We came back to the mission house very wet and muddy but with excellent attitudes.  God is good!

The five ladies who stayed at the mission house actually spent the day at the feeding center.  They thoroughly enjoyed the children.

Tomorrow will be more of the same for us.  Thanks for praying for us and for checking on us.  Blessings!
