We call the Internet here "Wes Davis" because in 5 days it's only worked twice.......

Finished everything on the job sites today. 10 houses in 3 days work. Got to spend a good amount of the afternoon with kids and families, passing out candy, jumping rope with them, and just generally being silly- which they love.
Tomorrow we go back and do the "Dedications". We go to each house with a basket of food and give the family their lock and keys to their house. We present the Gospel and then pray with them. Incredibly powerful and moving. They are so grateful for their houses, even though by our standards it's barely a shed. They cry,  we cry,.....it's cool.


Tomorrow night is when we pass out food in a different village. 100 families will benefit from this and so will we, just in a different way. The looks on the faces of the villagers as we hand them a month's worth of food is worth the trip alone. The way the Holy Spirit is present during the whole process is amazing and humbling. Most of us don't know Spanish and none of them know English but it's still a beautiful thing.
Pray for us and the folks we will be interacting with. 
  
Drew has already called Christian Davis "Wes" 3 times....and Drew doesn't even know Wes. 


I'm posting from a different computer than the one that has all the pictures downloaded to it. That one won't even pull up the Internet. It's Grayson Powell's. He's the one to blame for you having to put up with what I write instead of being able to look at pictures.


We've got some pretty sweet video we're trying to get on, it's just not working out. We'll keep trying.


Christian and I have had no ill effects from our Antigua restaurant adventure yesterday, so we're getting braver. We really want to stop and try the roasted corn we see them cooking and selling on the side of the road. We'll see.....


Played the scissors game tonight. David Barkley was the last one to catch on.


Had pork chops and eggs for breakfast. That was different but really but really good.


Taught them how to play "UP JENKINS" right before supper tonight. Lots of fun.


Probably going to visit some Mayan ruins Wednesday.


Also visiting a special needs orphanage for a little bit tomorrow.  


Weather here is still muis perfecto. It's "The Land of Eternal Spring".


I'm out. See here again tomorrow,
