Every day brings new experiences. Some are joyous and others bring sadness. This is a beautiful place. As we travel each morning to he clinic and then on to the worksite, the landscape is breathtaking with beautiful mountains, foliage, and planted fields. surrounding every modest house is land being prepared for planting before the rainy season begins in a few weeks. Corn is the staple of living here. Each Guatemalan consumes between 15 to 20 tortillas a day made from ground corn. Corn is so very vital to their lives.
The team split up yesterday and today in two groups. Yesterday, David, Kay, and Patty went with three Mission Guatemala on a stove installation. The grandmother was ready for us and came down the path to help us carry the materials. We were met by chickens, children, and the smiling grandmother who was very grateful for her stove. We shared activity bags made by Mrs. Brook's 3rd grade class at Eagle Elementary and coloring pages with.crayons.
Each morning we have shared daily devotional time, calling on Christ to lead us in our journey. We have prayed, sang, laughed and shed tears.
