Our team of 8 left Visalia at 4:00pm headed to LAX for a midnight:20 flight to Guatemala City. Flight left on time and we arrived on time at 6:30 am local time. I only got about 2 hours sleep. Our "host" from Global Community Outreach picked us up. After breakfast at a Burger King (with an armed guard on the roof) we arrived at El Shaddi church after the service had started. This was the first service at their new building. This is where we will be building the water purification system.
I left my photo chip in my pack which was buried under team bags, but the iPod camera worked good.
The first two pictures are of Fuego volcanoes. The other two are of the view looking left and right from the front door of the house where we are staying. You can't tell, but two people are carrying wood on their head.
The house has a couple geckos on the dining room wall but everyone leaves them alone because they eat mosquitoes.
Hopefully I'll get more pictures tomorrow. We may have some down time because there is a serious issue with a wall that isn't straight and something needs to be done.
