Today was another long day, but it was a good long...

The ladies met us at a church here in Guatemala City and we all left for dinner with the Lotts (missionary family to Guatemela). They were extremely gracious in opening up their beautiful home for us to relax, eat, and fellowship. We had apple pie for dessert.

We left there at 12:30 and drove to a small Mayan church in Sumpango where we again had a women's meeting (singing, testimonies, hand spa, and Sarah speaking). Buddy was there again and was a huge hit with the children (about 27 kids). Buddy is Cindy's puppet dog - very cute. They gave us a traditional Mayan drink made out of corn, cinammon, and some kind of sweetener. That was an interesting drink...

From there we went to the home of the father of our guide and all around helper - Esteban. His father is also the pastor of the church where we had the pastor's meeting Saturday morning, and where we will be on Sunday morning. They fed us a Mayan potato/chicken/pepper mixture on banana leaves (made by the pastor's wife at the church where we ministered this afternoon). We did top it off with ice cream.

When we arrived back at the seminary, there was a lightening storm off in the distance so we had apple pie, ice cream and fire works here in Guatemala on July forth...

Thank you for praying for us. Some of the pics are from yesterday...
