Fox Valley Presbyterian Church Mission Team

 We arrived safely in Guatemala city and were met by Pastor Fredy, Javier and Claudia, as well as the driver of our very cushy van.  All of the team but Fred made the arduous 4 hour trip to the Reu area to our lovely Cupula de Zion.  The temperature rose steadily from about 90.  We're not missing the
Chicago weather. 





We unpacked and checked our gear - which all arrived.  We had a bit of damage to one of the pumps, but Dave and Bill were able to repair it. Systems were sorted.  Teaching materials arrived in good shape and were sorted and reviewed.  Everyone took a much needed nap - with the exception of Steve.  Steve tried the inviting hammock, but ended up on the ground.  No harm done except to his dignity.




 Meanwhile, Fred went with pastor Fredy, Javier, and Claudia to the US Embasy to see about Pastor Fredy's visa.  They didn't arrive "home" until almost nine pm.  Well after dinner.









 A very long day for Fred with to recovery time after our all night flight.
We're ready for Bed and hope you will continue to send your prayers.  Tomorrow we split into two groups and head out to our two new water sites
