Teculutan

Just in case your curious about what a home might look like here in 
Teculutan, Guatemala...
A typical wooden style home (Outside)
Inside the wooden home... you can see the dinning room table, the armoir and the stove

This is a very common mud home just outside the city, built of just that sticks and mud!

...and what I like to call a "sign" home.. built of... you guessed it, signs!!!

Of course just like in the states, neighborhoods and types of homes range... there are beautiful homes built behind walls that I'll never get the privileged of seeing and then there are your average block homes... just one big room divided up into spaces for sleeping, eating, and cooking!  I have yet to find a "middle class" here, it seems that you are either very impoverished or very rich!

Christo El Rey Iglesia Anniversary

The Church here in Guatemala Celebrated it's 8th Anniversary this year!  It was a beautiful all day celebration with many new guests from the surrounding area.  At lunch time we were given the opportunity to share our meal with three adorable children from down the road who must have smelled the food a mile away!  It was a great day overall and we got some great photos of the Men, Women, Children and Youth Ministries!
