Hola, All! Edna and I left San Marcos yesterday, arriving in San Juan 30 minutes later. The hotel we are staying at is so beautiful. Every room has a view of the lake, since the back side of the hotel is the mountain. The rest of the mission team got here Saturday. I have a room to myself that has 3 beds in it, so I have plenty of space.
Today was our first day on our mission work. The group I am in is helping to build the walls of a two room building. When we got there this morning, nothing had been done. The walls are going to be made out of concrete blocks; on two of the walls progress was achieved as 4 rows were up when we left. The other group were working at a different house that had been in a fire. We have split into 2 groups since the space we are working in is too small for all of us to be at the same house.
The food at the hotel is so delicious! A local husband and wife are the chefs, and everything they have made has been so good. We are eating like kings at the hotel but working like slaves at the houses!! The local people are so wonderful and very friendly; you can hardly walk by anyone without them wishing you a good day.
Happy 4th,
Dawnie
I can't wait more to hear how your training went and also about the mission work. Enjoy your Guatemala time and we will catch up in October!
