Guatemala Scout Trip Final Post

Our trip to Guatemala was amazing. We are so pumped about what God is doing there. He is going to use us all to rock the Kingdom for Him. Our final day we spent at Shalom Baptist Church talking with pastor Alvero. He was a great guy. We headed to the airport with our favorite driver Edwen to head home. Our hearts are so full. We look forward to sharing so many great things with you. Don't forget to sign up at 72students.net to go with us in June. You can even go if you are an adult. God wants you there.

Here are the final set up pictures. There are a ton from all the days we were in Guatemala. Click here to see.

Pray that we will continue to have vision and clear direction for June 5-15. God has been so good in this area. Remember if God wants you to go he will provide the means necessary, it might even mean some hard work. You guys are awesome!!!

Guatemala Scout Trip Dia Tres

Today was another great day. It was exciting to see more of Antigua. We looked around at a lot of hotels and local restaurants. We looked at the Jungle Party Hostile but decided it might be a little to crazy for us. The Happy Hour was a little to long. We had the joy of riding a Tuk-Tuk. Just imagine Josh, Sue Ann, and Bill riding all together in the back of a three wheeled moped. (the driver struggled just a little bit to get the door closed. Josh almost had to sit in the drivers lap. We will post more pictures tomorrow when we get back. We don't have a card reader for the camera.

Sunday

• Ate breakfast at Cafe Dona Luisa
• Did a little Shopping before church
• Went to church at Inglesia del Camino-Worship was a lot like The Brook other then we sang in both Spanish and English.
• Ate Lunch after church at Mono Loco-Josh ate a hamburger with an egg on it.
• Headed to Hermano Pedro Hospital and Orphanage-This was probably one of the most emotionally moving places we went all week. Most children lay in their caged beds all day and many are even drugged so that they will sleep and not need care.
• Bill bought black bean paste for Melodie at the Supermarcado.-The Bodagona (imagine guatemala wal-mart) was out.
• Heading to eat dinner at La Fonda de la Calle-The food was muy rico.
• Packing at the Hotel to leave in the morning for Guatemala City and Shalom Baptist Church.

Thanks so much for all your prayers. We are thinking and praying for you all. We have a ton to share with you about our trip. God is really doing a work here and I believe He wants us to make a huge impact for Him. Make sure to sign up asap at 72students.net. God has already told me what you should do. So head over to the website and sign up now.

I'm not playing about signing up. Do it now! God is going to bless you and provide for your trip.

Hey Daniel sorry you missed it.
