Day 2

Today we built a house for a 58 year old widow. Her husband had died 5 years ago. we spent most of the afternoon building there and when we finished we went to the shoe factory in Mt. Flor where I got my self a pair of flip flops hand made by Guatemalans (and a pair for my mommy too) each pair that is bought buys a pair of shoes for a child in the community for shcool, they are not aloud into school with out good shoes here. after that we went to a feeding program wich I will exsplane more about tomorrow when I am less tired!

Sorry it's so short today but it's another early morning tomorrow! here's some pictures to make up for it :)
