Hola!

We last left you wondering what was going to be for dinner last night...and it was... rice, beans, and tortillas! What a shocker!! We got the honor of listening to Wilmar's story. He was shot and paralized from the waist down and now lives here with his sister. He is studying to be in management as of now and is very happy here. We were blessed to have him come talk to us.

Today after a lovely breakfast of dry cereal, bread, and a cookie, we all went about our daily duties. We worked in the kitchen, in maintenence, in the clinic, and the rest of us broke up and either painted blocks for the kids, or worked on sewing stars onto a decoration for the little kids room. As of now the rain has held off, knock on wood! We´re all excited for our various ventures tomorrow, please pray that we have an enlightening experience.

With love from Guatemala,
Shelby, Alyssa, and Paulina

P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSH W!

P.S.S. Here are a few photos for your viewing pleasure.

    Awesome pictures!! Your stories of how God is working through you on this mission is so incredible! You will all come back stronger people for it. I get teary eyed just thinking of the good you are doing for that part of our world. Makes you think the world is not so big after all. God Bless you all and looking forward to your home coming!

    p.s. Dave liked the birthday wish until he read the "you don't look a day over 60" part:)

    Love the pictures! It looks like you are having a great time. We can't wait to hear about all the good work you are doing in the community. We also had rice, beans, tortillas tonight at El Tequila for Josh's birthday. Miss you Nicole. We will celebrate again when you get home.
    Love, Mom

    Thanks for the pictures! It is great to see all of you with huge smiles. I am glad to hear that you continue to enjoy your predictable meals. Alyssa, Dad and I are glad to hear that you were able to care for the special needs children. I am sure that it was rewarding for both you and them. See you soon.
