Guatemala Week 4

This week was more of a laid back week. We had class and worked in the factory (well my team did jessica cooked) in class this week we learned about world religions. The religions we learned about were

· Jehovah Witnesses

· Mormons

· Catholics

· Hinduism

· Muslims

I was so excited because for the past year I have been wanting to learn about other religions. It was very interesting to know some of the things others believe. A lot of the religions are worked based and belief Jesus was only a prophet. And if I were to write everything that I learned this week the blog would be like 20 pages. We did watch a movie based on a true story and it was about this christian lady who is married to a muslim. The title of the movie is Not With Out My Daughter. It was a really good movie and you will prob cry if you watch it but it taught me things I did not know about the muslim religion.

In the factory I started building a table. We did not get very far we only got the table top done and that was because we could not get the table saw or jointer to work the way we wanted to. So that was really all I worked on this week. And we have an order for 14 bunk beds they do not need them til april so my group will not be the ones to finish them but we will be the ones to start them.

In spanish class this week I had to learn a song and sing it in front of everyone. I was so nervous but thankfully I had a song that I knew in english. My song was this is the air I breathe. //Tu eres mi respirar//

Dios tu presencia

Vive en mi

//Tu eres mi pan Senor//

Dios tus palabras

Fluyen en mi

//Y yo te anhelo, Senor

Estoy perdido sin ti//

(repeat all)

//Perdido Sin ti//

//Te anhelo Senor//

It was really fun learning it and I learned almost everyone elses too!

I want to share this lil story/quote/poem thing that was shared with us this week.

Its entitled Don’t bother me

Don’t bother me with souls to save, I have my own agenda. There’s school to do and sports to play, important things to attend.

Don’t bother me with my friend at work, he has his own religion, I don’t have time to change his mind. He will make his own decision.

Don’t bother me with that little girl, that little girl on the street. She’s much too young to understand the Savior she can meet.

Don’t bother me with the sounds I hear, the sounds of people shrieking. I wonder who they are, who are these victims.

Don’t bother me with who they are because I really don’t want the blame. Because its my friend at work and that little girl, who from hell screams my name

But, don’t bother me.

Esekiel 3:18 says “When I say to a wicked man, ‘you will surely die,’ and you do not warn him or speak out to dissuade him from his evil ways in order to save his life, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood.”

We need to remember why we are here on this earth. We may not be responsible for the whole world but we are responsible for who is brought into our lives. I just felt like sharing that little bit with you all.

this week we will be practicing dramas so the following week we will be going out and doing street dramas at the college in parks on the streets and so on I am excited for that.

That’s all for this week!
