Indy Metro Church Team

We were so excited to have our home church down a couple weeks ago!  They were a great team and worked very hard.  They main project we did was build a kitchen for one of the young men in the art school named Brayan and his family.  It was a hard job because of were he lived.  We also built chicken coops for a couple families here. These provide small businesses for the family to be able to raise chickens and also provide eggs and meat for their families.  They also did some painting in all the schools.  They did a half day conference for our Love Guatemala Teachers.  They had a very busy 5 days and were able to get a lot done!  They were able to experience some of the Holy Week traditions here too as it was the week before Easter when they were here.  Another huge part of bringing teams down is letting them visit people in their homes and see how they live. Enjoy a few pictures of their trip below:

 One of the hardest parts of this project was getting all the material there.  This is the path we had to go down and then all the way back up the other side of the mountain.  We had to carry hundreds of pounds of cement, rock, sand, wood and lamina.  The team did awesome and got it all over there in about an hour and a half.  We had scheduled a half of day to do this.

This is were the family had to cook before.  This was their kitchen!

 Here we are putting up the shell.

 Here is the finished project.  

 Here is the team that got it done!

 Indy Metro always brings down a bunch of goods for the schools.

 We did a bunch of visits and this one was very tight.  This family of four lives in one small bedroom with one bed.  This lady Aura is in the cooking school and has quite a story.

 This was a visit to Daniel's house who is in the Carpentry School.

 We had a gathering of all the schools where the team shared with them and they introduced themselves to the team and this is most of the students and teachers here.

 Good Looking Team.

 This is an alfombra which is what they do on the Thursday before Easter to signify Palm Sunday.  Hours after they make these beautiful things there are processionals that walk all over them and destroy them.

We had a great time together serving the people of Magdalena.  I was grateful they cam to serve and see what God is doing here! Thanks Indy Metro Church for your continued investment in the community here!
