We need your help!

We took a few pictures today, and well...lets just say that getting 8 people to be in a picture and smiling is not an easy task. Now, this picture will be our prayer card so we need to know which one people would like to see hanging on their refrigerator. What do you think picture in the tree or picture on the ground...PLEASE let us know...comment here even though no one ever does!! :)

We visited this project the same day we were at Patzun. We were served lunch here. It was a typical Guatemalan meal one that is commonly served at weddings or special occasions. It is a soup that has a hunk of meat in it that you tear apart with your fingers and well...let's just say I am not very gifted with eating with my fingers, and I wore it well! While we were eating our lunch the children put on a performance for us. All the classes did something special about Guatemala. They sang songs about Guatemala they recited poems about Guatemala. I had a great time watching them with their expressions and the joy of sharing things about their country! From the youngest to the oldest they are so proud of living in Guatemala. This project has a church with it as well and this church has over 1200 members! Isn't that amazing? They take such care of their church building. It was very immaculate inside. A beautiful painting of a waterfall inside the church. We don't have many pictures of the children, but we do have a lot of video. I will try to get more pictures of the kids on here soon!

here are some pictures...

We visited a few projects this week. This is one that we had been to already, I wish I had pictures of it back then. They have repainted it since then and it is a beautiful school with a closed in court yard that has a church right next to it. The church has over 800 members! In Guatemala. That really got me thinking about how far some of these people really must have to go to attend church. They have services in the afternoon so that they can sell at the market before church and also get to church. It was so beautiful inside. There is a picture of it here. This is in Patzun. The people are so beautiful and we had a great time there. They had a play for us and the kids dressed up as different farm animals and sang "Down on Grandpa's Farm" Very sweet...the older kids played their recorders for us and also the xylophones. I can't remember the song they played for us, maybe Bob will remind me! (Hint)

These are some pictures of the children in Patzun and also of the church. A picture of the program they had for us too.
What a beautiful day we had. The Director of the school is such a Godly man who only wants the best for the children there. It was incredible seeing his compassion for the children there. He really wants to do his best and expects the children to do the same! They were all so very well behaved children. It was such a blessing to be there this week.
