Happy Birthday today to Angela Xydis. She's 18 years young today. We got to sing to her twice (at breakfast and again at dinner), then we celebrated with a traditional Guatemalan birthday party - complete with a face full of frosting and a pinata. It was great fun. Tom (the director of Mission Guatemala and our host) said that he hadn't laughed like that in a long time. Thank you, Angela, for having your birthday with us.
On the way to the work sites, we all got to walk across a suspended footbridge that was built to bypass the road that was washed out by Hurricane Stan. It was really cool.
At the work sites, both teams continue to make great progress. The walls are nearing the top at Xepec and at Xecotoj, the concrete mixer was running non-stop all day. Both sites ran out of at least one of the ingredients for concrete (cement at Xepec and sand at Xecotoj). We have one last work day tomorrow. It's sure to be a strong push to get to a good stopping point at both locations.
