I'M HERE!!

Hola mis amigos!  Estoy en Guatemala!

I'm still having a hard time believing that I'm actually here!  And then I realize that I don't understand 90% of what everyone is saying...  and I remember! :)

Yesterday I was very blessed to be able to attend a church service that was translated into English!  The sermon was about how as Christ's disciples, we are commanded to surrender our possessions to Him and to go into the world and do His work.  It was a good reminder for me that despite my fears, I'm on the right track!

Today was the first day I got to work in the shop again.  It was really neat to see all the guys there again!  Such a great group of people!  I spent the day mostly doing odd jobs for the shop supervisor, Larry, and helping out where I could.  But then a little after lunch a girl came in who needed her wheelchair repaired.  The front castor wheel was broken so Gustavo and I worked on replacing or re-greasing the bearings.  By the time we were finished, the girl had a new seat on the chair and the castors worked wonderfully!  It was a neat way for me to see how my work can directly affect people!

After a long day at work, I'm tired so I'm going to head to bed.  Buenas noches amigos!

Chris
