Day One

Hola! We had a great first day in Guatemala! They split us up into three teams; two teams mixed and poured concrete for families who have dirt floors, and the other team resurfaced walls with concrete. We realized how blessed we are in America, because we don't think about what life would be like if the floors in your house turned to mud every time it rained. All of the kids in El Recuerdo, the neighborhood we are working in this week, were very willing to try and talk to us, despite the language barrier. Those of us who speak Spanish had a lot of opportunities to practice speaking, and we are looking forward to learning more this week!  Thanks for your prayers!
