The team’s first day of ministry began with a time of musical worship led by Carla Mast followed by a message from the Word by Pastor Bob Harvey.  Always a good way to start the day.

The medical team stayed in El Tejar.  Not sure of the numbers but I do know that Dr. Derek said they stayed fairly busy on the dental side.  I do know that Dr. Mark sent a patient to the local hospital who was then transferred to a hospital in Guatemala City.

The building team had a good, albeit tough, day.  A two hours drive to get to the building sites was followed by digging in the most rocks I have ever experienced in my many years of building houses here.  The digging of the holes was a major chore.  Therefore, only three houses were built to the point of being ready for the concrete.  Another one was about eighty percent complete and a fifth one was about thirty percent complete.  However, the attitudes remained great all day long even on the long ride back to GRACE Mountain.

So, today (Saturday) the building team heads out earlier and will soon be followed by the medical team.   It is going to be a good day!

Thank you for checking on this team.  Thank you for praying!
