More Trip Stats

With the help of others we thought of several other stats from our Guatemala trip. 

helped with feeding 250 children two different times at the feeding center in Yalu. 

handed out about a 1000 stickers and pieces of candy. 

Gave out dozens of doses of Immodium and dozens of bandaids.

Loved on tons of children at Hermano Pedro who wouldn't not haven't gotten out of their bed

took 27 and brought 27 back. 

It was amazing trip. We should have the highlight video later this week. 

Thanks so much for all the support. 

Guate-ever - June 5th

Today was pretty exciting as we all went in the mission field and many of us for the first time.
We split up and sent one group to Kairos school and one group to Yalu.
The Kairos group, got acquainted with all the students and played some games and had some fun with the kids. It was a short school day. We began to setup the computer lab and it looks like later in the week we may build a desk and a wall to further geek it out. The kids were so excited about us being there and the computadores! One part of the Kairos group went to house building project in the same area. They assisted the Guatemala masons as they begain laying cinder block.
The Yalu group had their first try at converting corn stalk homes to Tin homes. Yes you read that right. We have bought 100 beams and 100 sheets of tin so far to help convert these folks homes from cornstalk walls to tin walls and improve their roofs. Like Phil said...are we really having an economic crisis back home.... kinda puts things in a different perspective. 2 houses were completed many more to go.

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.
