Our last day at potters house!

After a ton of back breaking work, lots of sweat, and some very interesting smelling students we finally finished one house completely reconstructed, and two others that recieved new floors and roofs. I wish all of you reading this right now could have seen the expressions on the families and the childrens faces when they saw where their new bed would be going, and where they were able to shower, and where they would be spending every rainy season dry! life is Guatemala is certainly different, to say the least. but there is clearity, carefreeness, and a strong bond between the Guatemalan people. They were right along side us the whole time working just as hard, and not just the people recieving the new houses. Neigbors, friends, and even complete strangers, that is how strong there community is. visiting the trash dumps this morning was unlike anything i've ever seen. you really couldn't even imagine where these people work, raise their children and live everyday. this past week I fully believe we have shown Gods light and his grace and love. don't be surprised if some of your children decided to extend there stay... just kidding, but these kids have changed our lives and it was really hard to leave. i hope all is going well back in virginia/ohio! we love you all and can't wait to share all of our stories!
Adios,
Katy Peterson
