Tuesday Morning we were asked to work at the warehouses again separating more clothes. I am guessing that J Crew and Madewell Jeans must not be popular in the US. Several of the women on our team were extremely happy with one of the crates. It was over half full of bathing suits. Meghan, Sarah, Tessa, Amanda, and Margaret purchased several of the suits at the extreme Guatemala discount.
We also were told that there will be a dedication for a new school/Church in a nearby village on
Friday and we were going to be able to attend the dedication Ceremony to pass out food bags to the entire village. Of course, we were needed to pack those bags for the village. They needed 800 bags of food. Of course, in true Soul Discovery style, we packed up 850 bags just in case. Each bags had cans of beans, potatoes, rice, and the things called nutributter for small children to keep them from becoming malnurished. (We kinda tasted one pack - tastes like peanut butter - thanks to Will and Sam for the idea!)
In the afternoon there was more stuff to be unpacked for the warehouse. It is a totally thankless job and very tedious at times but then again that is what we are here for. To serve the people here in any way that will help. The stuff we sorted, re-taped up, cleaned up will be resold in the bodega. It always amazes me the stuff that we in the US return and then gets sold off in large parcels to places like Guatemala.Rick and family have given me a new nickname - Mayhem - like on the Geico commercials. I'm not sure if I like it or not. They have asked me to help out with some of the driving here for our group so I get to drive a large 15 person van up and down the mountain. What a change from all the hills we have in Salisbury!
Will lead us in a great devotion about David. Aaron and Natalie once again lead us in worship songs. What a wonderful bonding time for our team!
