Guatemala

Guatemala
The past couple of weeks have been really busy. 2 weeks ago we were preparing all week long for VBS.
This week we did 4 days of VBS. I only got to go to 2 days because I was sick. But since I was stuck at home I just prepared things for my team and the craft team. But the days that I did get to go were really fun. Lynnette and I were in charge of memory verse games. The kids loved to play the games. We played a balloon game where if they did not have the verse of the day they had to do something funny, like dance like a chicken or something. We played boys vs. loudest – that they really liked they screamed it at the top of there lungs. The last day we had about 15 kids or so raise there hands to accept Christ. There was this little boy one of the days who did not come over to play the game and just stood in the corner and watched. So I went over and was talking to him and then I told him that Jesus loved him and he shook his head no it was so sad. I did get him to come over and play with us though. And then the next day I was talking to another girl and she asked if we were coming back the next day and when I told her no she was all sad.

We are still preparing for our hiking trip in 3 weeks. This week we walked about ¾ of a mile with backpacks and bricks. Starting Friday we are on break for Holy Week. All the Latin students will be going home and all the Americans will be staying here. I would like to ask you to keep all of us in our prayers for our safety, especially that week.

Also, please pray for Guatemala and the people living here.
