Guatemala Day 2 - Building Site

Very minimal internet. Can connect sporadically where we are spending the night, no calls or texts though. Today we drove 5 hours & visited the family & site where we will be building tomorrow. Had a medical emergency with one of our team members while we were way up on the mountain but God is good and all is well now!

Trekking to the location where we'll be building a house tomorrow.
When we arrived at the site, the family had already been hard at work. A man had carried three bricks at a time to the site until they had as many as we would need to complete the house. Then they leveled out the ground and laid the first level of bricks. The white pile in the middle of the house is where we made the mortar for the bricks.

Kent and Estras, the young boy who will grow up in the home we're building.

 Holly is learning to make tortillas.
This is their kitchen and the other young woman is a sister-in-law to the family.
They will all be living in the house together.
