Short and sweet today:

• breakfast at 8:00 am
• group devotions
• grocery store trip for all - passed out literature here in Guatemala City
• lunch here at Casa Semilla

On the way to the women's meeting we passed by the Guatemala City dump. Thousands of people make their living off the dump - recycling, reselling, and re-eating whatever they can find. As I mentioned before, many live in the dump itself, with their families.

We could only get a glimpse of the inside but the van was silent as our hearts were heavy for the lost souls in the dump and for our ungratefullness for blessings we take for granted every day...

We continued to Villa Nueva where our conference was held. There were over 200 women present, not counting children... After the ladies sang and Linda Brumbaugh gave her testimony, Sarah spoke. The hand of Satan was present as a heavy rain began to fall as soon as Sarah began speaking. The rain on the tin roof of the church made it almost impossible to hear. We began praying for the rain to stop and for the Holy Spirit to give Sarah victory over Satan's attack. The rain did slow down enough for me to hear her all the way in the back of the church. Two seconds after Sarah was finished speaking, the rain started again so heavy that it was impossible to hear what the person next to me was saying... God does answer prayer!

The hand spa with all the women went extremely well - I believe that all who attended were ministered to; both spiritually and physically.

The team ate supper afterwards at a traditional Guatemala restaurant - we probably will all gain a couple of pounds by the time we return.

A young man, 18 years of age, named Estevan, has been assisting the team since our arrival. He has a true servant's spirit and has been a tremendous help to all of us. He practices his English on us and we practice our Spanish on him - sometimes we all can't help but laugh at ourselves. Please pray for him as he continues to willingly serve the Lord...
