Hello and thank you for checking in all week. Your prayers are definitely felt down here! It's truly been a great experience and we feel very blessed. We've spent the past few days in La Palmera. Thursday, we handed out school supplies, played with the children and painted the brand new kitchen that our church funded. It's not completely finished but it looks great!!
Our primary goal today with the kitchen was to get it painted. We took turns painting and planning soccer and "duck duck goose" ("grey duck", if you're from Minnesota). The sun was at its best today! As a matter of fact; as we left the hotel this morning, we were exactly 100° warmer!! (Sorry, had to throw that in there) The "high" has been low 90's all week(: We finished painting the kitchen earlier than planned. During our break, we were surprised with a snack. Everything was from the community and it was good! I can't pronouce half the stuff but everybody enjoyed trying new things.

After we finished the second coat of paint, we had lunch and took off early. Sadoc treated us with a visit to some ancient Mayan ruins. It was Awesome!! The group did this tour 2 years ago but this time we had a longer, more detailed tour. It was really really interesting!! I thought of the movie, "Apocalypto"
Stay tuned for more on La Palmera later today.
