We're Back!

Quick update from the valley.  We began our travels on Monday of this week - flying to Atlanta and then Guatemala City.  Little Man started becoming just a "Man" on Monday as he flew with a stomach bug and was throwing up on the plane.  He traveled really well and complained very little.  I was really proud of him.

We stayed the night in Antigua Monday night and then drove to the valley on Tuesday.  Dancing Beauty started throwing-up on the drive, but she also handled it really well with very little complaining.  I was really proud of her also.

The valley greeted us with clouds and rain.  Our cloud forest continues to greet us - we've yet to see the sun.  But in the mist of the clouds we have gotten settled back into our room.  We have made beds, unpacked bags, played with the new toys we got for Christmas, found a couple of mice, started school and started working.  My wife has also discovered hot water bottles.  She is staying much warmer at night with a warm bottle between her feet.

We have a team arriving February 15th to build a water project in Sequixpur.  I have been working hard on the design of this system so that we can place our order for materials next week.  I apologize for not getting  a work update done of the project we built in Semesche, I will try to make that happen this weekend.  

Just wanted to let everyone know that we made it to the valley and that everyone is feeling better.  We seem to be over the pneumonia and the throw-up bug.  Thanks for all your prayers.

Mark
