New Taylor Update From Guatemala

Some of the east coast branch of our family has been checking in on my daughter, Taylor, and her mission trip to Guatemala. She is part of a service team that has been involved in building construction, repair and now plumbing. Here is a picture of her team after moving 400 cement blocks down the mountain so the locals could set the block on a house for a widow with 5 children. They look proud, not to mention DIRTY!

Today's blog posting from Guatemala:

"Hola Madre, Padre y mis amigos!Yo soy Taylor! How lucky are you guys two messages in one day! Today me and Jeff left the group and drove to put in the water systems! Little did we know it was an hour and a half drive and we were going to be in the back of a pick up! Thank you lord for Dramamine!! We had a ton of fun and at points we were above the clouds it was so beautiful! I took probably more than 20 pictures of the clouds and mountains it was so fun! We were only an hour and a half from Mexico but we didn’t go even though we’re telling everyone we did! I am having so much fun and really taking advantage of this once in a life time opportunity! My home stay is ok I hate the food I almost threw up like 3 times at breakfast but I tried everything! We had steamed milk, with grits in it and some brown stuff plus cereal all in one bowl! Then we had plantains and it was awful to the point where I had to put a dinner roll in my mouth to choke it down! Other than the food I guess it’s ok but I can’t understand my people! I love you all and I’m not sick yay! I hope I can make it through the whole trip without being sick but who knows I’m just glad for making it okay thus far. I love and miss you all so so so much!"

This is such cool stuff - I just had to share. Peace!
