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.
