Ivanrest Impact Ministries – Guatemala

Today was rossome! We started the day very early, around 5 AM. After an amazing pancake breakfast we began our work in the village. It was stucco day at the village! It smelled like mayonnaise and looked like strawberry milkshakes. We all started at the first house and then work our way to the other houses stuccoing the walls…and each other. At one point we stuccoed Ross and thought he was part of the wall, but don’t worry we found him. Everyone in the village pitched in, even the little ninos carried the stucco platters. After we were all stuccoed out, we headed back to the base for lunch. We took a little break and we went back to the village to play with the children. They were very excited and ready to play! We played many games like soccer, ring around the rosy and duck duck goose (aka perro perro gato). We played an intense game of soccer, the United States versus Guatemala. The United States was little competition for the Guatemalans and they ended up winning 8-2. Some of the team put doors and windows on the newly built houses. The families of the houses are anticipating the completion of the houses, as are we. We are very excited to paint the houses and dedicate them tomorrow. We cannot wait to see what God has in store for us!
