Day 3 - bed platforms and lice

Making friends



we delivered a bed platform here. The shack was smaller than our clubhouse and the access road difficult to describe. It's unbelievable people live like this, but it's not all this bad.

Washing lice (pidocchi" in italiano) out of hair. Norine did a good job, Isabella even better; when it was really bad on a couple of children, our nurse friend Anita took care of those cases. The local girls felt like they were in a beauty salon... hardly.

Per Emma: la nonna trova bellissimo il tuo cerchio per i capelli. Lo vuole anche lei per sembrare una regina come te.
Per Norine: sei BELLISSIMA, il tuo cuore illumina tutto il tuo viso.
Per Pietro: impara a costruire i letti, impara a "ristrutturare " il mondo.
Nonna e nonno

Dear Loved Ones,

In the twelth month, in the year 2009, in the city of Guatemala, a Savior was born, Christ the Lord. He came giving green bananas and eggs to the hungry, removing lice from humble scalps, building wooden bed frames, and making friends with all. The people were reminded that they, too, were loved children of God, precious in God's eyes.
