Going Deep

We started the day at Macohon, what a wonderful experience to be involved with their morning devotions. (More like an all out praise for our Lord). The kids are so cute and want to give big hugs to everyone. Karren says it is like getting your breakfast for the day. A hug line is definitely the way to start any day. Our next stop was the sink hole near Chicoy. It has been an important place for Mayan witchcraft for centuries, but the local witches are not happy because, since Impact built a Christian school at the bottom of the hill (you have to go right by the school to get there) and their daily prayers go forth each day creating a sweet smell in the spirit world, the power seems to have gone out the place. I am sure we lent a hand in that too as we had a wonderful praise time there also.

Next we stopped and played with the kids at Chicoy. (the first school built after the Peters arrived in Guatemala)

In the afternoon we went to San Antonio to an afternoon program where they help the kids with homework and give them a nutritious snack. We sang some songs, put on a skit and made a craft before spending some time playing with them. If you ever want to learn Spanish quickly skip the classroom and just play with kids. Our team is really starting to pick up a lot of Spanish words and phrases.

In the evening we went to a nearby house and took some corn to the local mill where it was ground into a dough like consistency. We then formed the corn meal into doblados. A corn tortilla folded over some cheese, then deep fried. Careful with the hot sauce.

Each day seems to be a flash of deep emotional experinces. It is so hard to separate them into individual events. Tomorrow will be our last in Tactic (that is so hard to wrap my head around, that it is almost over). We will be working in Purulha painting the new nurse's room, leveling some ground for a new classroom and generally cleaning up construction materials. In the afternoon we will visit some more sponser children and pack up as we will be leaving very early Wed. morning. This may be the last post unless I can find a conection in an airport along the way. Thank you for all that have been praying, please do not stop yet as we have some complicated conections yet to make.
