Highlights of Guatemala

Many of you asked to see and hear more of what we did while in Xela. 

We went to several place and presented a program. I was in charge of the wordless book (click on the link if you don't know what that is) , using t shirts. We had bracelets to hand out to everyone as well. 

We passed out toys, hygiene items, candy, soccer balls. It all depended on what the needs were, although all the kids got a toy of some sort.

I purchased new testament Bibles and brought them in my bag (we got more while in Xela) I loved seeing these girls holding the Bibles I brought,

We prayed and had many prayers spoken for us. (and the safety of our vehicle!)

We passed out flyers telling everyone to come to the free festival on Friday night and kids festival Friday day. I loved getting on the ground and meeting people up close and personal.

We did a wordless skit to music. (this was only practice)

Young and old alike enjoyed the balloon hats.

We dedicated a water well we helped finance in a village at the foot of Santa Maria volcano. (This photo was the ceremonious "turning on" the water! Followed by lots of firecrackers.

 We shared our hearts with them.

 We invited the masses, and they came. Approx 60, 000 of them!

 They got to experience fun and exciting music.

Then they got to hear the Word of God preached. Unlike North America , Central America is eager to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ. 

Sunday morning we divided up in small groups and attended church. It was appropriate that I had brought my "love more" bag and hadn't given it away yet. You can see the pastor's wife put it on as soon as I gave it to her. I couldn't be more thrilled about that.

So, that's the highlights of my past week.
