This really has been an incredible trip! Our adult leaders on this trip, Bruce Eades, Alaina Morris, Paul Murray, Steve Murray, Allie Pohlmeier, Robert Puckett, and Greg Rowland ARE INCREDIBLE! They have been great examples they to our students of how to be servants. They have also provided tons of wisdom and experience on our trip! These seven are truly incredible DISCIPLES!
Yesterday our group went in three different directions: one group traveled to Antigua to do a VBS, another traveled to a malnutrition center about 40 minutes away from Guatemala City, and the remaining group worked on "houses" on the edge of the dump.
The short documentary (which can be watched on YouTube) called Recycled Life, shows what life in the dump is really like. Our group watched this at our second meeting, but were blown away after seeing it in person.
Above is a picture that I quickly took with my phone of some of the "houses" in the dump.
By the way, if you are not seeing any pictures of your child do not worry! I have tons on my camera that we will show when we return. I am using my phone for blogging so can't put them all on the blog.
Last night our group traveled to Mixco. A town outside of Guat. City. We were able to go to a church service where we got to sing one song in English. It was so cool watching our group get so excited about worship (because we could understand the words!). But it also convicted me about how I (and we as the American part of the Church) "do" worship. That kind of excitement should be continual as we worship our wonderful Creator!!
More to come later today...thanks for reading! Photos below:
