Wednesday

Today was a great day. Dylan, Paul, and Derek got up early to help out with the church's CR program (Celebrate Recovery). This is a program designed to help men with their addiction to drugs and alcohol. Every Wednesday morning the church invites a group of men in for breakfast (some still feeling the effects from the night before). Drugs and alcohol have created a lot of problems and broken families here in Guatemala, so this group acts as a support system for their journey to sobriety. For the remainder of the morning, we went to the school to finish painting in the computer lab.

After lunch, we went back and installed conduit for the wiring for the computers. Construction projects are always interesting with 2 languages being spoken and 2 different cultures merging together. In one week school will be over for the year, so we will wait until the January team comes down to actually install the computers. That team should be excited for a beautifully painted room, in a school full of energy and excitement !!
It rained pretty heavily in the afternoon today, but that didn't stop us from accomplishing what we wanted to.

Tomorrow is our last day here in Villa Nueva. Paul and Dylan are going to do some computer work @ a different school, while Missy, Christina and Derek do some cleaning and small projects around the house. In the afternoon, we are going to a church for some activities with the kids. Possibly another obstacle course, some balloon animals, and some other fun activities. Then Friday it is off to Antigua , and Saturday is our day of travel.

We will be sad to have to leave our family and friends here in Guate. The week went by quickly like it always does, but that was expected.
