Toby's Trip to Guatemala

Thought that I would post a few pictures of Toby's trip a few weeks ago to Guatemala and tell a little about the trip.

Toby went down with three other guys to check out some sites to try and help the local people obtain cleaner water. They traveled around the country side outside of Guatemala City checking on water sources and sites for wells. We have helped do some work like this in the Philippines, and I am so glad to be helping in a country that is really close to my heart!


Guatemala is a beautiful country with wonderful, sweet people!


One of the local children! The people of this area use this water for everything from washing to cooking!


One of the churches that the group visited.






Toby and group searching for a water source.



Toby and I love architecture. Here are a couple of shots that he took that I just love.

Overall the trip was successful and they are working with the local missionary to hopefully get some projects rolling! I will be sure to post as things progress.
