Hola!
Today is day four of our time in Guatemala. So far it has been amazing! The sun was out for the first time in four days. It was pretty nice for a change. After breakfast, we all went off to our different sites. When we were arrived at our site the children were waiting for us on the top of this hill, but this time they were a bit more shy than yesterday. Our site managed to put the beams and the roof up. We were informed that the man's bath room was not on his property and was on the another person's property. Therefore, we had to dig to create a new bathroom. This task was a new challenge in our mission, we had to dig a hole in the ground that was 12 feet deep. It seemed easy at first until it started to rain on us. We took a little break and enjoyed the company of the children and surroundings. We taught them how to jump rope and played catch with them.
For lunch we were invited in the neighbor's kitchen and shared our food with the children. The kitchen was old fashioned and simple. The mother had six children, but the oldest wasn't there. At the end of the day, the mother gave us blackberries to share with the rest of the group.
My favorite part of the day was playing with kids and seeing their smiling faces. The kids were very accepting of us and were very helpful.
I can't wait to see them tomorrow!

Dear Tatiana,
ReplyDeleteI liked to hear the story of going to the neighbor's kitchen. I look forward to your return when we can hear the many stories that you will have.
I challenge you each to ask God to show you something special every day. I challenge you to write down three expectations that you had for this trip. Then, after you are home, write down three things that God taught you about yourself, your world or how He revealed Himself to you during this trip.
May God bless each and every one of you!
You are in the thoughts and prayers of many people, not only at Bethany, but all over the US.
Much Love to you all,
Betty G.
