Team Guatemala 2012 Sunday

Greetings from Guatemala. We have all reached Hope of Life in good health. (Except for our friend Kevin - Long story there - I'll let him add the details but due to some poor timing he wasn't able to join us this year.)

Our first full day was actually more of a day of rest. And I must say that after the airplane trip and the LONG bus ride through Guatemala, we really needed it. We had breakfast at 8 and then went to the local church for service. Aaron was once again ready to lead if needed but Pastor Carlos delivered an interesting sermon on "listening". Jon (one of the group with our friend Margaret from Washington) gave a brief testimony as well. After lunch, we were supposed to go on a tour for the mission but Carlos couldn't do it then. One of the babies they were bringing in to the nutrition center that morning didn't survive the trip. It was a pretty sad atmosphere in the nutrition center that day. So instead we headed up to the orphanage for some free time with the kids.

After dinner, we all retreated to bed early since everyone was still pretty wiped from the day before.
