Hola St. Michael Family,
Our mission team has returned after a very successful mission. Thank you for all your support both prayerfully and financially.
During our short week we accomplished a lot. We split our team on a Monday and Tuesday to get more done. We were able to build 4 houses, install 4 water filtrations systems and 2 new stoves, give away 50 pair of shoes to the children of Chichicastenango so that they could attend school, and visit three feeding programs that are located around the out skirts of Chichicastenango. Later in the week we revisited the families that we had served earlier in the week. We shared the word of God with them, gave them a solar-powered Bible translated in their native language, a basket of food, and a backpack filled with fun things and school supplies for the children. One of the more moving things we were able to do was wash the feet of those we had served earlier in the week. This was a wonderful experience for everyone involved.
The pictures are a small glimpse into our week but you can see more of our trip going to https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=496068657846885 to view a short five-minute video. We are planning to give a presentation about the trip at a later date, but in the meantime please ask any of the mission team members about the trip. They all have their own unique and moving story to share.
