MORE END OF WEEK PICS

Can't imagine who this could be......or could it be the same person who had paint poured on her head in prior years.

 No explanation need here. Look at those smiling faces

Here we have a picture of "The Last .Supper" with the 12 disciples.(11 at the table + the photographer Sara).

Here is the Playground....complete & in it's new location.

Hey Scott, what's ya doing under there?

This is what we all looked like at the end of our last work day....tired and smiling on the inside & the outside!
Well I think this may.   be the end of our Blog. Thank you for your prayers & support. Ten of us are on a plane right now & headed home. Chloe & I will remain a few more days in Antigua. See you all real soon!

OUR WORK WEEK IS OVER...BOO HOO

 Ron had to get the chain saw out & cut down part of a tree so we could run the power lines to Leah's house.

 How much is that doggie in the window?? Everyday we stood beside this window with the doggie while we waited for our bus.

 I think Mel spent the entire week painting. She started to coordinate her shirt color with the paint color.

Here is Mike "Helmet Head", hard at work as usual making sparks fly.

This is the electrical team. We are having way too much fun this week providing "light" for the children at Casa Angelina.

 Mike & Lori are attaching the railing to the playground equipment. Now how is Lori going to hold that when Mike is ready to weld it fast?

I think Ron wants to take Kimberly home with him.What do you think Joanna, an instant big sister?

MORE PICS

Here is Sandy painting the playset Yellow.....look how well she blends in with it.

THURSDAY ALREADY?

It is hard to believe that it is Thursday already. We only have one more work day and there is still a lot of work to finish. The painting crew has been busy on the outside of the school & there are also a few folks painting the playsets.

The kids performed a few songs for us & did a really cool cowboy dance.... costumes and all.

Check out the mustaches on this young rustler.

The Cityview team members are the ones in the yellow shirts. Several of the orphans are sitting down front or being held & loved on by the volunteers. 

 Here is Sara with a boy from the village. This is his home and he is doing his chores, feeding the animals.

This pic shows how some of the palyground equipment was moved to it's new home. That is Ken behind the wheel or shall I say levers.

ANOTHER WORK DAY

Today we could actually see lots of progress. The painting crew finished painting in the school today. The paint fumes were so bad that the kids had off part of the day. But it looks like it's back to the classroom tomorrow.

Chloe & I had lots of help today from some folks from the South Dakota team to run conduit and wires. After lunch the two of us had the opportunity to walk down the road about a mile to see the widows house that another team was building. You will see some pics of that tomorrow. I forgot my camera card & don't want to walk back to our hotel to get it...sorry.

Looks like Mike & the guys have cemented some of the playground equipment in today. I also saw some of our gals painting the big swingset a beautiful royal blue color. Ron was asked to work on a "special" assignment in the guard shack....I think it had sometime to do with the electric fence system.

Look for more pics tomorrow and keep praying for the teams.

MORE UPDATE

We hope you are all enjoying the photos. Sorry we have not been able to get an internet connect except really late at night and when you have worked hard all day it makes it tough to wait while the pics download. Some of the pics we posted are from the sightseeing part of our trip. The rest have been showing the team working hard. Several of them disassembled & moved playground equipment closer to the "houses" so the house parents can see the kids while they play.Three of us were doing wiring for the past 2 days & will probably be working on that job all week. Others have been painting in the school. The kids had off today just so those painting could get in there & get the job done. Hey I just realized I didn't get any pics of our fearless leader Mike. Hummm, I wonder what he has been doing the past 2 days. Check back tomorrow.

MORE PICTURES FOR YOU TO ENJOY

1ST DAY AT CASA ANGELINA

 Here are some photos of part of our team before the final 4 of us arrived on Sunday It looks like they had a great time sightseeing.

We had a great 1st day at Casa Angelina today. There is over 90 volunteers working there this week.Here are some pics from todays work.

HERE WE GO AGAIN !

Here we go again...to Guatemala that is. Chloe & I are boarding a plane to Guatemala this Sunday with Sarah Martin & Ron Janney. The rest of our team from Cityview (Scott & Monine, Mike & Mel, Ken, Sara, Paulette & Sandy) will be leaving Thurs at wee hours in the morning. That will actually be in about 4 hrs from right now.
Servants also has a team flying out tomorrow morning as well and chances are really good that they are all on the same flight and don't even know it. Although none of the team members will know each other they both have something special in common... hearts that are willing to serve where ever God may call them. It just so happened God has called them all to serve in Guuatemala during the same week but in two different orphanages about 2 hours apart.
 Cityview team will be serving at "Casa Angelina" and Servants at "New Life Children's Home ". Please pray for all of us during our week of service for good health & safe travel and for God's plan and purpose.
Look for photos on the blog & an update of our work next week. All team members except Chloe & I are scheduled to return Saturday the 26th. Chloe & I will return Tues the 1st.
