Thursday Morning at The Oasis
We woke up this morning to a foggy start. It is still beautiful in Guatemala, even in the fog! We started the day with  team devotions and then breakfast....a yummy skillet, (at least I say it was, because I was the cook!). Then we broke off into our work groups: Block layers, cabinet makers, painters, and Prayer Chapel remodel.

Tim with Domingo finishing top course.
Randy demonstrating proper trowel handling technique.
The block layers finished laying all the block today for the guard house. They will finish that project up tomorrow by digging out about three inches of dirt from the floor to level out the ground, so then the cement floor can be poured next week.

Dave helping with custom cabinets.
The cabinet makers and painters worked together to get all the cabinets painted and assembled so that they can be installed into two offices tomorrow. The two offices also got their walls freshly painted. Lisa will be adding some small mural details to each office tomorrow.
Cabinet Master Dan cutting shelves.

Extreme Make-over underway.

The Prayer Chapel remodel is coming along well. The walls got a fresh painting. The rooms got cleaned. The murals are finished and the sewing has begun. Tomorrow will be a day like those last hours of Home Makeover making sure all the final details are done before the reveal....can't wait to see it all come together.

Off to school.
We enjoyed a lovely dinner in Antigua as a team hosting the missionaries to say thank you for all they do for the girls, staff and especially the girls at the Oasis. What an amazing team of missionaries who serve Christ so well. Another shout out to this wonderful team God has put together to minister to the girls here at the Oasis.

Tomorrow is our final work day here at the Oasis. We thank you in advance for your continued prayers for good health, stamina, and team unity. May God be glorified and praised for His goodness to us!

Adios,
Kyle
