Well it is day number 4.

We are up early to get ready and leave once more for Amatitlan. We stop
and pick up Chochi and continue to the park where we will do our faith
lessons. We begin by divide up in groups to do home visits. There are
amazing stories that I will not go into here. I will just say that it
left most of us wishing that we could do more for each one of the people
we visit. Unfortunately, that is not always the right thing to do. So we
share Scripture and talk and pray and weep with them. God will take care
of the rest. We go to Francisca's house. She has prepared us a
traditional meal of beans rice, and tortillas. She has a very delicious
drink made from the jamaca flower, which they brew down and add sugar
to. It is kind of like fruit juice when they are done with it. It was
quite sweet but very tasty. The faith lessons were really great. The
adults listened intently. The children were the most animated and
interactive we have had yet. They truly made the girls weep when they
all needed hugs when we left. It is enjoyable watching the children
wondering back to there homes carrying their crayons and proudly wearing
their crowns. We all pile in the van and head for the mission house. We
stop in the middle of town to drop of Chochi. It is the first of many
goodbye's to come. We take a detour and stop at a beautiful lake. Kevin
takes pictures of the lake and group pictures of us all and also
individual pictures with the Guatemalan team. Kevin told us that this
was a special stop not usually included in our day. The Guatemalans
wanted to show us this sight. It makes us all feel grateful that they
think so highly of us. We return to the mission house exhausted as
usual. Ginny has supper started and we sit down to pancakes. Yah! Highs
and lows all around the table seem to be about the same. We have had so
many different emotions this week, it is hard to get them all sorted out.

After supper we head up stairs for devotions and Jamie read from Matt.
25: 34 - 40. It is a sweet ending to another absolutely sweet and
astounding day.
To God be all the glory for ever and ever.
Only one more ministry day left. L

Good night to all !!
God's Blessings
Randy
