Today, we were sad to leave the beautiful Lake Atitlan. We sang happy birthday to Pierce at breakfast with birthday candles on breakfast bread. Then, we loaded trucks to drive to the homes that were built this week to be dedicated. It was such an amazing experience. The pastor of the local church came with us to the house and all of the families that were going to live in the house were there. We spoke with them, prayed with them and hung a plaque in their house that said "God bless this home". These homes were just cement block homes, with cement floors. They were an upgrade from their bamboo or tin homes with dirt floors. This experience brought most of our team to tears.
When we finished seeing all of the homes, we at lunch and then boarded our bus for our 3+ hour ride to Antigua up and down mountains and on some very bumpy roads. Alayne and Joel have not had the best stomachs today, so we tried to sleep as best we could. Pray for us, we are trying to just power through the rest of our time here.
We made it to Antigua, had some dinner and are ready to do some hard bargaining tomorrow in the markets. We will also have a church service with our team tomorrow as well as an end of the trip dinner.
Here are some pictures from today.
