It was nice to see Pedro again. He is the gentleman who's son died a couple of weeks ago. He seemed to be doing as well as can be expected but his wife is struggling. Please remember her in your prayers.
The group was given a chance to try their hands at making tortillas. It does not appear to be very hard to do but once you try..........your thoughts are different.
This little girl has no problems and enjoyed showing us how quickly she could make one!
This little boy won the hearts of the students! I had to check their suitcases to be sure they did not try to smuggle him back to Santa Cruz!
The students brought soccer balls and played with the children and they loved it!!They left the balls with Pedro so they can continue to enjoy them.
We ordered pizza and had it delivered to the hotel tonight. It was very good! We ended the night with a devotional again led by Juan Diego. Juan Diego studied at a Bible college in Honduras and from time to time works with Health Talents helping translate for visiting teams.
Juan Diego talked tonight about how the Guatemalan culture is repressed by their own government. He gave many reasons for this, one being the language barrier caused by 23 different languages. Another one that he mentioned was the civil war that lasted 30 years.
All of this was leading to scriptures that talk about Jesus being compassionate and healing. He said that Guatemala needs a leader who has compassion for the people. Guatemala needs a leader who is strong and will heal the land. It was a very thought provoking discussion because there are so many areas of need here..........the two largest being health-care and education.
Well, all of that thinking made me want icecream........so we all headed out for some.......now it is home for a good night of sleep!
