Hola Amigos!!
I can't believe that it as almost been two months since I started my internship here in Zacapa. Lately I have been doing a lot of physically demanding projects, but they have also been very interesting and I have learned alot of new skills just by participating. For instance, two weeks ago we began working on putting a tile floor on the back patio of the Community center, which is where the teams stay. Let me explain, this is not your typical patio. It is roughly the size of a large appartment or condo. We have to mix the cement by hand which can get difficult. Also we have been putting a concrete counter top for the kitchen in House 6 which is the new house that has recently been completed. This coming week we are going to put sinks in all of the bathrooms of House 6. Today is an important day for two reasons. First as you know it is the 10th anniversary of 9/11. But here in Guatemala, today is the one and only day for voting of the new president. Every one who wants to vote must go to wherever they were born in Guatemala. So lots of interesting stuff going on. As much as I love telling all of you about whats going on here, I would also like to hear how you all are doing and whats going on back home. If you can, leave a comment and let me know how things are going. I really appriciate all of the prayers and kind messages I have recieved from all of you. Thanks so much for your support. I hope to see you guys soon.
