The Work Begins

Yesterday (Tuesday) we got to see the whole compound where we are staying at. We were shown the roofing project we would be working on and a few people went into town to buy supplies for it. After a little but of trial and error, we got the roofing started. Yesterday we also had the health and hygiene class on hand washing for the children and adults. A few people on the team went down to the local school to publicize that they would be having the class and 60 kids and 6 adults came. We also got an AMAZING dinner of pot roast with rice and fresh tortillas.

Today (Wednesday) we started back on the project. We had to make a trip into town to get some more supplies, as it seems we will also have to do tomorrow as well,  and we just about finished the roof. Luckily we got ever thing put away just before the rain started and the roof held. All we have left to do is ad one more sheet to finish the roof as well as adding the gutter. Today the health and hygiene class was on germs and how they are transmitted. We had 50 kids today. Tomorrow we will also start on repainting the sanctuary. And as as be before we had another awesome dinner. It was a Guatemalan style enchilada. It was lettuce, beef, beats, tomato sauce, and egg on a tostada (a baked tortilla).

Everything has gone very well so far. We will finish the roof tomorrow and hopefully we will get a bunch of kids to come to the class. Keep us in your prayers and have a good evening.
