Sunday in Chichi

Glenn, Neva and I drove to Santo Tomas for worship. We arrived in time to grab a cup of coffee and then we began.

This is Adam during his last minutes before we began. His message was very good and something we probably all need. His thoughts were on rest and even thought we do not remember the Sabbath Day as it was remembered during the Old Testament, God still wants us to rest.

Adam pointed out that even though we do enjoy our work and we find pleasure in it, there are times we need to say, "enough." Medical people enjoy what they do but after the day is done, it is time to go home to the family. People who work in offices need to clean the desk, close the door and "call it a day."

Robert gave the group a few instructions about the day in the market.

Julie distributed HTI pins and explained the meaning of the cross, the world and the man in the center. The cross represents Christ and He is bigger than the world. The man's legs and arms are extended which represents that HTI reaches out to man spiritually, physically, emotionally and socially. Health Talents is holistic in care.

Small groups went in different directions in the market streets. I hung out with Jo Lee as she looked for Christmas gifts.

Several of us met at Casa San Juan and we had a good lunch. Most of us had the nachos and they were great............but the limonadas con soda were really good!!!

This is Dave and his son, Robert, in the market. Rosa, one of the street vendors saw me and asked, "Are your friends real tall?" Yes, Rosa, they are very tall :)

Jo Lee dealing with a seller and then helping another lady.

Jo Lee had seen these shirts hanging in the street and liked them. I wanted one too so we bought them and wore them together as the group left. It did not take long before we changed back into different clothing.

The group headed to Guatemala City where they will have dinner and spend the night. They have an early flight in the morning back to The States. We pray for their safe flight.
