I Had Black Shoes Once

                                                                Guatemala: Day 1

The day started off with a great breakfast consisting of omelettes, yogurt, some fruit, and some very needed coffee. We came to Guatemala with the intention of serving a community and provide help and man power to a construction project for an extension to an after school facility. I had black shoes coming in and by the time we left my shoes were covered in cement. I once had black shoes. We made cement from raw materials, mixed it up with shovels, filled up about a dozen buckets, and proceeded with laying the foundation of what one day will be a pharmacy for the children served by the facility. Our mission to change lives with SHPE is starting to take form, and our familia is growing strong.
