Sunday

Good evening. We have just finished up a delicious traditional Guatemalan meal. We felt out of place as our large group tried to walk nonchalantly through the city towards the church this morning. We were called up front to sing Mighty to Save with the guitar and drums. There were only a couple people who were able to sing along in English with us. It was really a neat experience to be worshiping with brothers and sisters of a different culture. The sermon was in Spanish so very few of us were able to understand the message. Emily Weaver was a great hit among young Guatemalan ladies.

After lunch at the dorm, we headed to the market in Chichi. This place was bustling with buyers and sellers trying to get the best deals. It was quite crazy but all in all we made some pretty good bargains. Many bought bags, blankets, hammocks, and some got machetes. We had the privilege to tour a hospital. This was different than anything I would have even imagined. It really showed me how incredibly blessed we are to have healthcare facilities as we need.

After dinner, we are relaxing, doing devotions, and preparing for the school activities we will be involved in tomorrow. Thanks for your prayers. Many have been answered but the week is far from over. Thanks again. We are very excited to tell everyone more details. Blessings and goodnight.
