Our Adventures

Thursday morning at 1 am.       
          We began our long journey to Guatemala at the Dulles airport leaving at 1 am. We flew to Mexico City after a 4 hour flight. After going through customs we finally boarded our flight to Guatemala city, catching a few cat naps a long the way....

We then finally made it to Guatemala and were greeted by Dylan and Missy! After a scary ride through the streets of Guatemala, we arrived at the beautiful new mission center. We quickly got settled in so we could all rest after a long day. After a long and well needed nap, Olga prepared an AMAZING meal for us and our bellies were so full.

Friday

      Friday started a long day of wood cutting. We are building beds for the mission center and also building a bed for Apolonia, a mother of one of the SARF families.

Saturday

      Today was the day that each and every one of us were looking forward to. We took almost all the SARF families to the water park for a day of fun and fellowship. We had a few highlights of the day to share with you like: Riding on a school bus (Which for some of us, it's been quite awhile!) Watching Dylan and Mike go down the water slide together, taught the kids how to play Marco Polo, eating lunch with all the families, getting to know the kids more, watching the kids interact with the other SARF kids, and watching them climb up the water slide! Overall, Saturday was an amazing and fun day that we will all remember forever.

The kids really enjoyed the water slide!

Sunday

       Today we attended Dylan and Missy's church up in Linda Vista where we were able to fellowship, pray and worship with people in the Community. Some of us had the opportunity to go over and help with the kids during Sunday school. Then for lunch we went to Pollo Campero and had some amazing chicken!

We had the opportunity after lunch to visit Maria at her tienda (which for some of you who don't know, is a small store) We bought a lot of Coke, snacks, and fireworks! We got to sit and talk with Maria for awhile about the struggles she's been facing and get to know her better. We prayed for some healing and really felt the spirit moving with Maria and the group.

Till next time my Amigas :)
