Hello everyone! Our flight went very well. We actually arrived in Guatemala. Then we waited for Dan to come and get us and then we were on our way to La Bendicion on a very bumpy road. We got settled and had some supper, followed by devotions and praise and worship. On Wednesday we woke up at the butt-crack of dawn and ate breakfast.  We split up into 5 different teams and began work on our houses. We went back to the base all sweaty for lunch then returned to finish putting up the walls and laying the roofs on. We had a few hours of free time. After supper we had a little bit more free time to talk with the people who lived in the village.  We ended our day with devotions and worship. Thursday we got up, ate breakfast, and headed off to our houses.  We finished mudding and taping, then everybody moved from house to house to help stucco the outsides of the houses. The windows and doors were put on as well. We ate lunch, then had free time.  Some of us stayed and talked with the villagers, while others went and played soccer. We had supper followed by more talking with the villagers, then devotions and worship. Friday morning everybody went to their houses and painted the walls. Each house has green walls, but each team got to paint their own designs on the walls.  All looked wonderful.  We then dedicated 3 of the houses. One of the families had their three boys accept Christ =).  The parents were already Christians. The other two families declined =(.  We had our last meal at La Bendicion, then went out to dedicate the last two houses.  Each accepted Christ =). We then got all of our stuff together and said our goodbyes to the people.  The vans were loaded and we headed out.  We arrived at the base around 7 and ate a wonderful supper of pizza and strawberry jello with pop! After our hot showers we sang some more praise songs and told of some God sightings we had that day.
