WE JUST GOT BACK from the mission trip....i cannot wait to have a bubble bath, do my dishes in hot water...brush my teeth in good clean running water instead of a bottle...so much to see...our group has almost 10,000 pictures between us not including the movie clips that were taken....I am not sure is I can post pictures of the Guatemalan people or the cancer children, so i cannot do this at this time till i find out...WHERE TO START....


1: BUILDING IN GUATEMALS
2: THE LIGHT OF THE WORLS SCHOOL (our church helps sponser.
3; One of the amazing tombs in the cemetery...I was really drawn to this one...
4: GUATEMALA DUMP WHERE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WORK SEARCHING FOR ITEMS TO SELL/REUSE FOR A LIVING. this picture does not show the magnitude of it...

It looks like you had an amazing time and did a lot of good work. Enjoy the comforts of home, we usually take them for granted, don't we.

definitely take them for granted...however because I went there, buying things looks a lot different....I have been giving a lot of things away and downsizing to very basics....

KAIROS HOUSE (currently 15 children with terminal cancer and their families...total of 52 people in this tight quarter)

MT Fuego...active volcano showing off during our stay

Alot of the homes use corn stalks or bamboo for their walls..

one of the homes we all built in the last stages...government only allows us to go so far on the homess...the families have to finish off the rest as they can afford to...

It sounds like you are doing all you can based on someone's rule. It looks like a big improvement over the stalks. Blessings to you and your work.
