We ended our ministry time here in Guatemala today. We visited a school at the dump that is serving very poor children. It is a great school but is not as fortunate as the ones run by Mrs. Arzu, the former first lady. We were the only team to visit these children this year and they were wide eyed with excitement as we came in. We taught them about God's love, we worshiped with them and made bracelets together to give us sometime to talk with them. It was a great time and we wished we would have had more time there.
We spent the afternoon in Antigua. We were able to do some market shopping and download with each other about the week. It was a great day. It is sad that our week is over. We have both made some great friends and Emily has grown a love for mission work. :) At the same time we are excited to get home tomorrow - we miss our Caelin, Macie and Daddy SO much.
We have prayed prayers of thanksgiving to all of you who financially supported our trip and have been supporting us through prayer. God's hand is at work here in Guatemala and it was an honor to be a part of it. Thank you for standing alongside us and being our partners. We love you!
I'll close today with our final self portrait taken today at Antigua. Next stop....Oregon!
