Some of you have probably heard the news that there was an earthquake in Guatemala today that measured 6.0 on the Richter Scale. Good news is we are all safe. Most of us were in the village finishing up the houses. We did not feel the earthquake in the village as it is a 2 hour drive from the mission house. Those who were at the mission house said the house shook for about a minute, ceiling fans were swaying and the only damage is 1 crack in the wall.
Working in the village we are torn between the beauty of the surrounding landscape and the poverty of the village. We have completed 12 houses with 3 left to finish. Our trip back to the mission house surprised us with a not so normal trafic jam. However we were welcomed home by a delicious chicken dinner. It is a quiet night in the mission house. We are missing the visitors whose fellowship we have enjoyed the last several nights.
Tommorrow is an early wakeup with breakfast at 6am and trips to the orphange and seminary in Chimaltanago.
Adios amigos.
