Guatemala Day 3 (part 2)


A wonderful way to begin the week!

This week we have been blessed with teams from several different states: Louisiana, Pennsylvania, and Louisiana. Yesterday was our free day and we were given the choice to either zip line across a canyon, tour a coffee plantation or visit a chocolate museum. After eating lunch we experienced the market and then returned to the hotel to end the day with dinner and group worship. 

When we arrived at the malnutrition center this morning we broke up into our assigned groups and were given a tour of the facilities by the interns. After the tour we met our kids and began the day's activities. The children are grouped by cute animal names which include: Canaries (bed babies), Bunnies & Chicks (youngest toddlers), Ducks & Squirrels (3-6yrs). We had playtime, snack time, Bible story and lots of songs. At 12:30 it was time for lunch and we got to eat too! After lunch...Naptime. While the children were asleep we did projects around the center: cleaning windows, folding laundry, cleaning toys and mats, and sorting through donations. Also, Tiffany lead the devotional with the sweet nannies that care for the children. The afternoon ended with lots of games and giggles. Before we knew it, our day there had come to an end. We left the center and remembered we needed to take our group picture so we stopped at a breathtaking view of the whole city with the volcano "Agua" in the background. We are now going to end the day with food and fellowship. We can't wait to see those precious children again tomorrow.

Here are some more photos from day 3:
