Well after spending two days in bed with the flu I am on the mend. The sad thing now is that Wilma now has what I have and is in bed. The group had a great day on sunday first visiting the market and then going to the weavers house. They saw how to weave beautiful cloths and also the women all dressed up in native Quatamalan costume. When Wilma is feeling better I will ask her to post a picture of all our wives decked out in these costumes. Today is another beautiful day with clear sunny skies. Most of us are painting in the school and we have finished the downstairs hallway and one more classroom. Our foreman Hans has a hard time behaving himself as he enjoys painting others especially me on the face or on my clothes. It is a good thing he is self employed as back home He would be jobless if he worked like that. :-) Lloyd worked hard with the nationals pouring 9 more coloums. Mike and Matt worked on some electrical work and Evert and Ed finished hanging all the doors in the 2nd floor bathrooms. All the students are glad to have privacy now. Well I am going to do some more painting as I do not want to incur any more of Hans bantering. He never lets up and because of this we have acomplished alot this week. I hope you all tell Hans when you see him that he did a awesome job. I think I will want that job back next time we go.:-) Thanks for all your support and prayers we sure have felt them this week. Hopefully some of the others will blog tonight yet and we will see you shortly. Karl
