In memorial.
Filled with laughter, tears, hugs, and joy, today was a big one. Everyone drove to see all three houses, culminating at a ceremony at house 2.
House #3 in the mountains.
House #2
And each house family was presented with a photo album of pictures taken during the build. Can you believe we were able to print these photos. And the masons received one as well.
We read a blessing, which our translator Andy recited in spanish as well. And we also sang a few songs. Then we had some food- chichitos (imagine a small tamale with chicken) and cake. There were balloons in the house, everyone was taking photos, saying their goodbye's, crying, hugging. We worked side by side with our masons, helpers, and families for the past two weeks. Their houses are almost done, and it's emotional to say goodbye.
House #1 The family of Olga and crew.
House #2 Seña and Estella, and crew
House #3 Soccoro Family and crew
The twenty four of us! Thank you Thrivent, Habitat, and everyone else that made this possible for us, and the families!
And today we made it to Panajachel, where we feasted, laughed and danced a little! More pictures tomorrow.
