2/3 finished!

Tonight we are praising God for His goodness and provision.  The day started out dreary, wet, and threatening.  Dylan called Patricio (the Guatemalan foreman guiding us in this project) and he said, "Come on down!  We will work in the rain today so we can get it done." We started laying blocks and even poured a part of the support columns.  Tomorrow morning we will continue our work by building up the rest of the wall and make it ready so in the afternoon Patricio and Aminta's brother can pour the rest of the columns and then backfill all the dirt.  Our work time finishes tomorrow at noon as we will be wrapping up from our trip here before decompressing with some tourist time in Antigua.

Please continue praying for good weather, safety, and a wall that will never move.
