Mmm... just finished another amazing supper at Les and Rita's. Seriously, I didn't think that we would be eating this good while we were in Guatemala! Carmela is their cook... and she is an absolute blessing to the Peter's and to the teams that come down here.
Just another little memory that I forgot to write about yesterday... while we were in Central Park in Guatemala City, there was a man walking around with his 3 goats, selling milk. Les decided that we needed to experience some Guatemalan culture, so he bought a glass of fresh goat's milk. As we were passing the glass around for everyone to try... someone piped up and asked if the milk was cold. Haha! It came straight from the goat... it was pretty funny!
Today, we did some more construction at the new school we are building. Eric ordered another truckload of rocks, so we had lots of work to do today. Moving rocks, cement, mixing cement, passing water down the line... lots of team work. It really makes you work as a team when you are on a construction site together.
After working, we did our first VBS in the Chichoy school. There was about 40-50 kids there. It was a lot of fun doing our drama, story, craft and then just playing with kids... making some great memories.
It was another great day! We are starting to really bond as a team. It's great to see everyone working together and trying to develop new relationships. Tomorrow may be our last day on the work site, and then we are going to do some home visits of sponsored children.

Hey Amanda, Happy Birthday!!! Sorry we can't be there with you. Dad and I are in Cypress Hills and you should see the snow and elk, and deer, and moose! WOW.God's creation is awesome here in Sask too. Glad to see and hear about your work and how close everyone is getting. Pray for both Grpas in Stoon as they are both in hospital with heart problems. We will be with Trevor tomorrow! :-) Love and prayers to all of you.Cheryl Friesen

Lorissa, you will be happy to know that we had a bit of a snow/ice storm a few days ago. It is now almost gone. We miss your cheery self and your teenage humor, however, we are enjoying the reports of your trip. By the way, didn't your father teach you not to burp in public?
Thanks for the updates Amanda.

hey alex its my birthday
I don't know if you folks can read comments down there, but it's encouraging to hear what the Lord is doing. I'm praying that He will make much of Himself in and through you all in your time there. Lift high the cross and watch Jesus draw men unto Himself.
Grace and peace,
Chris (Mr. Hutchison)
