Yesterday was somewhat of a sad day for us. After morning devotions we said our goodbyes to the missionaries. They are all Guatemalans who live here in Guatemala City with their families except for Kevin and Ginny. Many of them travel more than an hour by bus each day to do the work here in Groundwork Guatemala. They are such great people working for the Lord, each with their own unique talents and abilities. We will keep them in our daily prayers from here on out. We each shared a bible verse wiith them to encourage and build them up. We held a prayer time for them to pray for each of them and the work they do here. We took many group photos of our LCOSJ team with the missionaires.
Another nice experience we had yesterday morning was going to the Godfrey Coffee Company.We learned how coffee is obtained from the cherries processed, roasted and packaged for shipment. We learned about some of the lives of the owners, the coffee plantations and the life around the coffee plantations.
In the afternoon we had adults, youth, and children from Guatemala City come to the ministry house for a faith lesson. Pastor Steve shared with the adults and the LCOSJ team did our Good Samaritan faith lesson. We also helped the youth missionary prepare a craft for next week. You will have to ask us about this when we return.
The plan was to have a mystery dinner on the roof but a rain storm rolled in. Our mystery dinner was pizza and was a big hit with the younger members of our group.
Our evening devotions included a reflection time of our week and was a vey good exercise for the group.
Much of the time before bed was spent in packing in preparation for today,s trip to Antigua.
We will be home late late Sunday.
This will be our last blog from Guatemala City.
