An Awesome 4th Day
What a day! Our morning began with a walk up one of the many mountains and kayaking for those who decided to get up early. We were joined by the others at 7:30 to load up the luggage and head to breakfast where we enjoyed fried bananas, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, black beans, and the best cookies ever. After breakfast, the medical, photo, carnival, and optical teams set off to a Mayan village, while construction continued work on the widows' houses. The bus ride to the Mayan village was one that we will never forget! Sharp curves and drop offs had us all on the edge of our seats. Every team member recieved a wonderful blessing from being around the Mayan people. The medical team saw over 100 people, and the optical saw over 70. Photos were very popular in this paticular Mayan village. Many faces lit up after being handed their photo with a Bible verse on the back. The carnival team entertained the children by playing soccer as well as painting faces and fingernails. After our sack lunches, the "Happy Feet" team came back to Shalom and recieved an amazing blessing. They gave out hundreds of pairs of shoes, as well as washed hundreds of feet. This greatly touched the hearts of both the Guatemalan people and the "Happy Feet" team members. We ended the night with yet another wonderful devotion by Will Tate. Everyone on our team continues to draw closer and closer to each other, but especially to God.
