Guatemala Mission Trip Diary
June 2009
 Erin's Outreach Ministry Team is participating in the Synod's Living Waters for the World program to install a water purification system in a remote village in Guatemala in 2010. A team of four people from Erin is travelling to Guatemala in June, 2009 to scout a location for the water system. Scouting Team members include: Pam Pfeifer, Charles Snodgrass, Mike and Michael Pierce, and Don Vowel. Once the location has been selected, the system will be installed next year.

Hey everyone back in the states:
Pam, Charles, Mike, Don, and I made it to Guatemala City at around 11 Guatemalan time or 1 eastern time. The traffic is crazy. Yet there is some beautiful architecture in Antigua and the other cities. we went to the school in El Rodeo, it was really sad, but there was potential for some amazing things to be done. Everyone is really nice and is trying to help but with Don being the only one fluent in spanish, communication has been hard at times. We believe that we found a spot for the system and now it's time to make the dream a reality. Also we found another place that has an operating system that we will being going to see Friday. Tomorrow we will be goin to see a school in Antigua and make some food deliveries. We will talk to you all soon.
¡Adiós!
Michael
