| The team after the first day of digging |
Here's a catch-up from Mr. Lopez on what they have been doing in Guatemala. The village they are building the well in is called "El Triunfo" which means "The Triumph" & they have definitely been triumphant during their visit. Due to the mudslide all their phone lines are still knocked down so most of the communication have been thru text messages & a few phone calls so when Paul gets back we'll have a more detailed account of his trip with tons of pictures. On Tuesday they hit water & were able to go through two layers of gravel which rarely happens so this is a HUGE deal!!! At first the water was extremely brown but as they flushed it out it started to run clear very soon due to the filtration of the all the gravel, the team leader was so proud of them & the village could not contain their excitement on what a strong team they were given! Living Water International visited their team leader's village 7yrs ago to build them a well, he was so thankful he joined the Living Water team & now travels all through Guatemala as a team leader helping build wells. On Wednesday they constructed the pad, installed the pump base & spent time in the community & schools going over proper hygiene. Today they installed the pump & had the dedication ceremony...whoo hoo mission accomplished!!!
