We overnighted in the beautiful city of Antigua at the Living Water International compound where we met our hosts for the week Jamie, Vivian, and Byron. After a hearty breakfast in this lovely, old colonial town (which was the capital of all of Central America back in the 1500’s) and an inspirational church service, we packed up the van and made the 5 hour trek northwest towards the Mexican border. We arrived just before dark on Sunday evening in the coastal town of Champerico where we checked into our “5-star hotel”, the Posada del Mar, which will be our home for the next four nights.
Monday morning we wake up at 5:00 and have a quick breakfast before heading to a local village to commence the drilling of a water well which will hopefully provide them with clean water for many years to come. Half of our group will also be working with local women and children in the village where they’ll be leading hygiene training classes. Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers.
We are blessed to be a blessing!
