For Further Reading...

As many of you know, my brother is in Guatemela for another month and a half or so (he's been there about a month). You may not know, however, that he has a blog that he updates from time to time with the work that is being done there and his thoughts and observations about the impact God is having on the community and others through and in spite of him. And I don't think it's too far to say that he's an excellent writer. So. If you're up for some more Shank musings, shuffle on over to www.lifeinguate.blogspot.com and poke around.

Meanwhile, back in the states...

We finished up our last day of work about two hours ago, ate, cleaned the kitchen, finished our 'where yat sign', and showered (we had a lovely Christmas carol sing-a-long). It's been fun, hot, sweaty, dirty, and exhausting, but, as some of us were reflecting earlier, I can't imagine a better Spring Break. With that said, expect pictures and stories within the next couple days, and hopefully progress pictures over the next weeks and months as the work continues. But, there's a concert here tonight and we have a 14 hour drive in front of us tomorrow, so it'll have to wait until later.
