New Homes in 'The Village'

Yesterday and today I had the privilege of going to what we are calling "The Village."  I'm not sure if this is what the area is actually called, or if that is just the name we are using to refer to the location for the week.  We built houses, about 2 each day, for families that have a great need for them.  Many of the people we are building for already have homes, but they are generally overcrowded with the large families that exist within the culture here.  The houses we have  built are just about 12 feet on each side and covered with tin metal.  The families are so grateful to have us here to do this, and it is such a great honor to do this for them, and, in doing so, sharing the love of Christ!  Here are some pictures of from the past 2 days:


Also, some of us went on a tour of the grounds that we are staying on.  We got to see a lot of really cool things, and I got some really good pictures!


I am excited to be going back to the orphanage tomorrow.  It is our last day at the different work sites, so please pray for us as we prepare to say goodbye to the Guatemalans we have grown to love this week!

This makes me feel so guilty about ever complaining while building my house. I can't believe they live in those tiny houses. God Bless you and your work.
