What wonderful experience it has been so far. We are serving beautiful Mayan people in a beautiful mountainous place. It is hard not to just stare at the people with their handsome Indian faces and gorgeous traditional clothing. It was great worshiping with the congregation on Los Olivos on Sunday evening—singing worship songs and hearing a very stirring sermon (in Spanish, then English J). It was hard to believe that there were close to 900 people that one medium-sized room. We had a good day in the pharmacy yesterday. It was really great working with 4 Guatemalans who were tremendously hard-workers. It is sometimes a challenge to communicate with the English-Spanish-Ketchical (sp?) language barrier, but the interpreters have been awesome. I have been so inspired by the people of Los Olivos, They have been such servants of God, sometimes in challenging circumstances.
I am so grateful to be here and to be a part of any service we can provide for the people of Sumpango and the little villages around it. Thanks, Nate, Laura, and Hannah, for letting me come along. I miss you, and am thinking and praying for you. Hope you are doing the same for us—particularly for health and stamina as the week goes on.
