Guat. Day 5

• we needed to get up at 6ish to be ready to leave by 6:45ish to eat pancakes and eggs for breakfast



• soon after we left for a long day in the mountains which was about an hour away.



• _____, dad, Todd, and John talked while Erica, Denise, Nolan, Leigh, and I talked until the twists and turns made me dizzy



• dad actually made us stop for a snake



• we stopped at a church/ house of Pastor Eliu and had to ride standing up on the back of a truck which was alot of fun with Denise and Jeremy



• when we got there Erica and I painted hands for hours while others colored, and played. (it felt like 20 minutes)



• one really cute girl just stood and stared... I don't think she spoke Spanish



• I taught one group of boys how to blow bubbles because they've never seen them before. I also taught them to say it in English because no one knew the Spanish word for them. I also taught others how to throw a frisbee and one how to jump rope.



• we gave out candy and bags of food



• it was beautiful... the hills, mountains, fields... were just amazing



• on the van ride back to Chiquimula I felt sick again so I got to sit in the front which helped a lot



• we got a surprise and went to natural hot springs which felt SO good...it relaxed us a little to much because after that is when everyone started feeling sick



• Kevin and I washed dinner dishes all alone and he didn't want anyone else to help. We talked some, got soaking wet, and just had a great time. Jane kept calling us the 2 KC's.

Guat. Day 4

• not as dizzy today as I normally am


• breakfast was yummy mush cereal with "egg mcmuffins"


• finally talked to mom on Johnathan's phone


• Team 2 went to the mts and dad went to San Juan to work on wiring


• Team 1&2 went to a mostly boys tech school where some of the girls felt uncomfortable


• at the end only 2 people came up for prayer but when in was over we to just take to people. So me, Erika, Kaylah, Bethany , and Courtney spoke in broken Spanish to 3 girls. We asked if they went to church and 2 of them did. We ran out of things to ask so we told them to ask us anything. Finally, the one girl who's name is Heidy (didn't go to church) asked when we became Christians. When we answered we all knew she was interested in Christ. So we went and found Jane to translate and Heidy accepted Christ. We got her inf to put her in a cell group and told her we are now sisters in Christ. In the mist of the sunny, 100+ degree weather courtyard~ I was cold. Amazing.


• We then had lunch of mush mix with peppers and rice and mango juice.


• We bagged beans and made piles of food to take to the mountains with us tomorrow. (100+ bags)


• Since we had extra they're going to distribute it at a land full


• After that we went to an all girls school of girls wanting to be teachers. They were definitely more responsive than the guys. At the end the guys were just singing and Marilyn invited them up to pray; almost immediately girls came up alone or in pairs. This one girl came up to me and we just stood and hugged and rocked for 20+ minutes. I prayed and sang while holding her. She left a tear stain on my Orlando shirt with the Mexican tar.


• Next we went to a college but I mostly just played with Amy while they did testimony's and a statue skit because we were only in each classroom for 10-15 minutes.


• Dinner was meat, tortilla, cucumber, and potato


• I had the opportunity to have a nice long talk with Kevin and he made an awesome statement. "I cannot declare something that I don't really know."
