Begin Work Projects Day 2

Hola!
Today was our first work day in El Recuerdo. For this week, we divided all the team members into four separate groups. Each group has been given a different project to be completed by the end of the week. Los Cuates are dilligently working hard to repaint the community center. Lolo Chingolo and Gustavo Bonifaz are two other groups that are currently working to lay down cement floors in three different houses. Grandios Hercules is spackling the walls of two previously built houses. It's been an exciting and eye-opening experience.
Lots of love,
Layne, Maddy, Allison, and Joy

Hello Pircon Family,
I'm having a blast in Guatemala. Dad was completely wrong because the food is great. Today was our first day of labor and i greatly underestimated the power of the sun.

Hope your having fun at home,
Michael

Day 6 Thursday June 10 Highlights

Hello All, I feel asleep without being able to get some pictures up of the day here are a few. One of the highlights yesterday was being able to go to club in the neighborhood where our group has been serving. It was a great experience on many levels. We have made many new friendships. It is so fun to see the students interacting and having fun with people that they met only a few days ago. The friendship and relationship made during the week is clearly one of the highlights.

Blessings, Chad
