Last night was
a long night for a number of us – at least those of us who were not snoring… I ended up in the hallway, sleeping on a
stack of mattresses I found, while others just persevered through the night. When morning finally came, we got ready to go
to the worksite at 7. The plan is to change
the “housing arrangements” tonight so everyone can sleep.
We arrived at
the worksite at 7:30, we ate breakfast, and then spent some time studying
Philippians. After devos, we headed over
to the school property and began working.
The day was
made up of a lot of various projects.
None of them very glamorous, but all jobs were very necessary. We moved block to build the wall for the
ladies room. We cut rebar for the forms
we were going to be making. We folded the
rebar into usable squares for the concrete supports. We mixed and made concrete. We moved dirt and sand for the ground in the
ladies restroom. We helped form the supports
for the concrete supports for the second floor.
It was a very busy day.
Meanwhile,
back in Guatemala city, Carey and Meredith were introducing the children’s
sponsorship workers at the corporate office to the “connect” program that will
speed up the process of passing information back and forth from the field, to the
corporate office, to the donors. This is
a huge step forward for AMG, and I am certain that Carey and Meredith did an
excellent job presenting this new program.
After work we
went back to the hotel and prepared to go out for dinner. We went out for pizza and then went to
Xelapan to pick up some desert coffee cakes that apparently are very good – at least
that is what Phil and Sam said. I think
we are going to eat them tomorrow morning.
Well, after we
spent some time rehearsing the day, talking about what we learned, what we saw,
what we did, we closed our time together in prayer. Then some went to their rooms to sleep, while
others watched Monday Night Football, and others played a game of Rage.
It has been a
great day – Tomorrow is more of the same…
We will see what God has in store…
