Pictures From Fat Tuesday and the Work of the Day
Here are some pics from our day yesterday! The confetti you see is a traditional carnaval celebration that the children participate in. They drain an egg and fill it with confetti and then paper mache the eggs. To have an egg smashed over your head is good luck! The group split up into two teams and each team started building stoves. We are heading back today to finish our work!
You're such hard workers! I can only imagine how much the Guatemalan people appreciate your service and are that much closer to self-sustainability. Reading these posts have made me appreciate a lot of the simple everyday things in my life that I take for granted. Keep up the great work!

Really enjoying these posts/photos. Glad to see you are both giving and receiving. After being on two mission trips and seeing the differences in cultures/poverty in the world I am continually encouraged when others are able to immerse themselves in other cultures to learn about it and want to do something to change the world. Keep up the good work. may God guide and bless you the rest of your time.

It's very appropriate that your mission work is the same week as the start of lent. May the Lord Jesus bless you all. I agree with Alex colorful headband Char. Lar
