Yesterday Kallie and I had the opportunity to go help shovel mud out of homes in a nearby town that was extremely affected by "Agatha". It was sad as well as unbelievable how much mud had been swept into the city by the storm. But in the midst of hardship it was awsome to see all the locals staying positive and working hard to clean up there town.
It's been good for Kallie and I to see how the Guatemalans unite and help eachother clean things up. Kids to elderly were out with shovels and picks working to remove mud up to five or six feet deep in the streets. Many of the Guatemalans we know who were not affected have given of their time and money to help. I was shoveling mud away from the front of a building with some guys, and when they got the mud down below the window, water started pouring out. Those type of things would probably make me want to give up hope. There is still so much that needs to be done, yet the overall attitude was positive.
Please continue to pray for fast recovery, for no more big rain storms, and for God to provide for those who lost everything.
