Here we are finally. Sorry it has been so long since we've posted anything. Life has been going at a very rapid pace. The month of July was spent with hosting a team from Christ Community, having a young man from Omaha serving with us for 3 weeks, and then hosting a group of 3 ladies. Our daughter Heather was also here in Guatemala the whole month of July and we really enjoyed having her! The month of August was spent trying to get Vickie back to health. She spent half of the month in Costa Rica having surgery and recovering.
Norman and others started a big work project in June and finished it up at the end of July. They constructed a new roof over the existing outdoor kitchen where meals are cooked and the kids eat. It turned out really nice! The next step is to build a half wall to divide the eating area from the dining area and then put in a tile floor. It will be exciting when it is done! Below are before, in progress, and after pictures.
