Guat. Day 3

• we to a school and did Alleu song, name game, and Daniel skit.
• Had 2 "services" there. One for younger and one for older. They really liked how wise men (which I was one of) were eaten by the lions at the end.
• Went to 'Amigo' school and did a funny Noah skit (three services)
• The team has lots of dramas- Sin skit (picato), a 'demon skit', and a hilarious doctor skit.
• While Erica and I were walking out we stopped at a door with a weird lock on it. Josue came up behind and said, "Ladies, ladies its easy!" and then made fun of us for not figuring it out. :p :)
• Lunch was stir fry and we each got a 'bag of water'
• Dad built the church a stage
• Went back to both schools to do a high school service

Guat. Day 2

• Loud birds woke m up but I staying in a ACed bed till 6:30


• went to breakfast of eggs, cinnamon buns, and fruit


• We split into 2 groups and walked about 2 blocks handing out tracks that invited people to the church~Palabra de Vida (Word of Life)


• The area of Chiquimula that we were in was not as poverty stricken as we imagined it to be. Looked very nice and well kept for the most part.


• I walked up to this one lady and her granddaughter (Mariela) and gave them a tract and she kept talking. I got Marilyn to translate and she said that her daughter's leg was injured so we asked if we could pray for her. She actually took us back to her house so we could pray there. And in Guatemala that's a big dead. Zach lead us in an amazing prayer and we were on our way. The house inside the door was mostly like an outdoor courtyard.


• We also met a lady with a cute little daughter named Natalie.


• Church service was amazing. The spirit of God was felt by everyone. We sang "Friend of God," "Mighty to Save," and more.


• Zach preached and Park West did their drama.


• The church introduce their cell groups who also each did a skit.


• They gave an altar call and lots of people came forward and we just put out hands on the nearest person and prayed in English for them. The lady I prayed for had a decision about work and a man. We cried and sang.


• In Sunday School we got this string and we were told we couldn't cross out legs or arms and if we did anyone could take our string. Some 10yr year old kid tricked me and took mine. Kevin translated the whole time. We played this game where you stand in a circle congo line style and they say something the say A-Chi, a- chi, a chi, then faster. And you get closer and closer till the circle is really small.


• A different game was 1,2,3 Chocolate? and you jump back (you can only move once). Then one person starts and they have to hop on the other toes and the other people can move once to try to get away.


• Kevin is sometimes called K.C. because of his initials so we became the two KC's.


• Lunch was awesome. Mashed potatoes, chicken, and green beans.


• Had a youth service~ long and hot~ but dad rocked out on guitar.


• Again really homesick especially in down times. Stressed.


• Taco dinner.


• Kevin came and gave me a string from the game that I could keep (:

me and kevin. the kid that took my string.

GUATEMALA CITY ARRIVAL

• While waiting at airport some dude started a random conversation with dad and I.



• Our 3 hour bus ride turned into a 6.5 hour bus ride because of an accident.



• We were able to get out on the side of the road and walk around a bit because of how slow traffic was moving. Walker brought out his guitar and played some, while someone from the other van brought us sodas.



• Very homesick at some points in the day~ really really wish for Team Miami.



• Stopped at gas station and got some form of Lift, but they didn't have Manzana :(



• Pastor Oseas, Jane, Kevin, Amy, and Nathan is the host family<3>
  
  
• So exhausted that I actually feel dizzy~~



• Got to ride on top of bus to the church which was a lot of fun.

Bible Verse: "Let us therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following their example of disobedience....For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any doubled sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from His sight. Everything uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account..." Hebrew 4:11-
