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.
Good morning Peter, I hope that this day finds you doing well.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your posts and keeping us up to date with what you've been experiencing in Guatemala.
I'm sure that God is using this experience in your life to shape you into the man He desires you to be. I'm also sure that those you are working with are blessed with the labor and love you are giving.
Just wanted you to know that you are often thought of and prayed for by some folks in Tennessee!
And as Paul prayed for the believers in Colossae, “And so, from the day we heard (that you were going on your mission trip), we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. May you be strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy, giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.”
