Guatemala-Day 1 by Jenny Long

Hello friends and family!  We made it to Guatemala City safely!  Our flight was delayed about an hour, but me made up time in the air.  Pastor Luis met us at the airport and we were on a bus to the Guatemala City compound.  As soon as we arrived, we put our stuff in our bunk rooms and walked across the street where Pastor Luis' sister cooked us an amazing lunch.  We ate grilled cheese, a delicious potato soup and the yummiest guacamole dip I've ever had.  Amanda Rogers even tried some! Thomas did not, but he did eat 2 grilled cheese sandwiches which is still out of his very tiny food box.  Yay! 

We were supposed to spend the afternoon in Antigua, but its been raining all afternoon, so we napped and took walks around the gated compound and sat around just talking.  Ashley was talking to Pastor Luis' sister after lunch and heard an awesome God story.  A woman from 12Stone has been to Guatemala two times, while she was here she taught the women how to sew.  Recently, one of those women was able to support her family finacially with her new skills after her husband lost his job.  God knows what he's doing here in Guatemala.

Input from the team:  Amanda Rogers wanted me to mention that our flight was full of missionaries from all over the southeast. 

What I know about tomorrow: we are going to church and then traveling by bus to Lake Atitlan.  I'm pretty sure it is a 4 hour bus ride.

Please feel free to comment, we'd love to hear from our family and friends.
