Guatemala Project Complete!

Hey everybody! This is Nathan letting you know that the Guatemala team completed the water system in La Nueva Florida last night and has returned to the Clinica Ezell. We've had a great few days since our last post and everything's gone better than we could've hoped. We had a few complications with the tank and pump but they all resolved without too much stress. We turned on the water lines to the homes yesterday and went to each person's home to check the faucets. When the people heard the water coming out of their faucet to their own home, they became so happy and gave glory to God. It was great to see their expressions and hear what they had to say. Even though we often couldn't understand what they were saying, we could tell it was from the heart.
On Monday night we began showing movies to the villagers. We showed "The Gospel According to Matthew" and "Jonah" (Veggie Tales). It seemed that the entire village came out to watch and we even counted over seventy people on the last night.
When we finally had to leave, we did so with heavy hearts. We've grown close to many of the villagers here and they were so thankful for all that we had done for them.
Today, we traveled back to the clinic and spent some time designing new portable dental chairs for Health Talents. We then took a break and went out to a nearby farm where we enjoyed fresh pineapple, learned some about cacao and the origins of chocolate, and met some friendly parrots. Overall, we've had a wonderful trip and look forward to seeing you all again.
