Most groups that come down to serve with Groundwork Guatemala fly in on a Saturday. It means that today for us was a slow day to get rested up from our travel. We spent the morning unpacking our bags and all the generous donations that filled our suitcases. After separating and putting away the donations we spent time helping with vitamins. The ministry gives out thousands of vitamins a month to children, adults and pregnant women. Our job was to divide the large bottles into a one month supply. After lunch we had a surprise trip to a local park. Manuel, the missionary who lives here at the house where we stay, invited us to join he and his children. The park was wet and muddy from the rain we had today, but it was nice to stretch our legs and a beautiful walk through the trees. Tonight we had a chance to practice our faith lesson that we will be sharing with children next week. Everyone had a chance to get in a nap and most took advantage of the opportunity. All are doing well and the team is coming together nicely. This week our focus is on the "least of these" that Jesus talks about in Matthew 25. We invite you to consider with us who make up the least of these and how God treats them. We look forward to worship in the morning and another opportunity to practice our lesson for the week. Thanks for your prayers.
We had a great day yesterday. We had a wonderful breakfast fixed by our hostess Ginny then we went to a Guatamala Church, Sendero de la Cruz. We know the last word is cross. It was a great experience to see how the Guatemalans worship. They had about 30 minutes of just praising and singing before the church service. The service was about two hours in length. We spent the afternoon preparing a craft that will be used next week and unpacking and storing all the supplies we brought. We also rehearsed our faith lesson we will be teaching the children in the villages this week. The temperature was in the low 80's. We are a mile high here so it seems warmer. Connie And Greg visited their Quincy friend and family for dinner. The rest of the team remained at the mission house. Bedtime devotions were on Beautiful Feet, Romans 10:12-13.
