It is our last day of construction for the two houses. The roof and the floor will be finished today and some other extras that will help make the home a bit easier on the family. Things like stairs made of cinder blocks and a concrete walk way add just an extra bit of convenience for the family and with all our people there to work, it was quick for us to "help" with. I am sure the people from Guatemala that are leading the building project are probably sick of our help since we are very slow and usually don't know what we are doing! We aren't used to carry burlap sacks of dirt...we have wheelbarrels. We don't normally chop cinder blocks in half with macheti's...we cut wood with high powered tools. And we don't barely ever dig up dirt from behind our house to throw on our floors to level it out! But this is what we have been doing because this is how they do it. Really makes us appreciate our "easy ways" back home.
It is our last day of VBS with the kids in Santiago. I know that it will be an emotional day for all of us as we say good-bye to them. After four days of hugs, tickles, tag, and giggles...we will be done at the school and taking each one of them in our hearts forever. We have been so blessed to spend this time with them. What amazing children they are and I know that every one of us is forever changed for having met them.
We took a record amount of pictures yesterday and have uploaded as many as time would allow. Check them out here.
Hugs and Love to all! -Amy B
PS> This picture of Roy cracks me up! The lesson for VBS included combing each others hair and the kids just FLOCKED to him! He has the least amount of hair of all of us but they insisted on combing his....head. Love it!
