Tuesday- Big Day

Today couldn't start without a hitch and as it is always is in Guatemala the main thing you have bring with you is a good dose of patience.  To start off with we had no electricity to build the tower with or water to drill. But in time God honored our petitions and we got off and running.

Anna did the lesson with 40 kids and Stephanie translated.  What a blessing it has been to have Stephanie with us to do our translation.  She has doubled as a part time well driller be tower builder.

Florinten the CHE dentist came today and his two assistants they set up in the church and saw 10 or so patience.  Cleaning and pulling teeth.  This is another reason you should think about coming next year we could arrange anything you want done.

Bill and Sam Scott got to work building the tower with some slightly modified plans; of course they had help from Hugo Junior, Stephanie and Dave Hopkins.  As you can see we had our heads in the clouds literally, the village sites at about 8500 feet.

The drilling went very well and Lord willing tomorrow we will be able to put the well casing in and possible temporarily set a pump.  I, Mike, was touch when at the end of the day a man came up to me and said he was very concerned that I was not eating enough and he wanted to have his wife make me something to eat.  When I had Stephanie explain that I just couldn't eat the food he insisted to bring us sweet rolls in the morning.

As you can see and tell from our stories there is an incredible beauty in this country when you look close; as demonstrated by the heart of the man who wanted to feed me to the amazing flowers.  Thank you for your prayers and we will continue to try and bring glory to the God and Savior we love!
