For a bunch of people that didn't get to bed until almost 1:00 a.m., this team was up bright and early and ready to go to work this morning. Razorbacks are tough!
Rusty Castleman from Batesville has been here with the Arkansas team along with his family before, and he is here again. He is the original Mr. Fixit and spent the day repairing things in the mission house. He was in his element.
The team broke up into three groups....one to build houses, one to do a dental clinic, all in Alotenango, and one working at Amor del Nino. Two houses were almost finished, 30+ dental patients are in less pain tonight, well maybe not tonight, but soon, and Shyrel at Amor del Nino had help taking some children to the doctor for vaccinations. Before returning to the mission house, 75 families were blessed at a church near el Tejar with food packages and shoes.
New teams have cultural shocking/eyeopening/life changing experiences and those were shared tonight as the group met for devotional and sharing. It is not hard to see Jesus in the lives of some of the Guatemalan people with their gracious attitudes and generous spirits. May they see the same attitude and spirit in our team and may God be honored by what they do here.
