La vista es magnifico from our hotel. Guatemala is indeed a land of beauty. The views from our plane were breathtaking as we flew above the city on our approach to Guatemala City. Our hotel is very , very nice. Today we had an immersion day in Teculatan and the surrounding area. First breakfast at the mission house. Then preparation of about 150 bean sandwiches, along with a soy or rice milk mixture that we poured into baggies and tied shut for their drinks. We went first to the gargage dump to feed about 100 women and children. The dump was closed for Sunday, but we stayed to play soccor with the children, many malnurished. Then we went to a nutrition center to play with children and hold babies. Most were severly malnurished and/or disabled. Next we went to a HIM daycare center. The kids sang for us and showed the English words they had learned. Tomorrow we will go back there to build a playground. Next we had lunch at the mission house (food very good!), before heading to a natural waterfall and a little hike in the mountains. We are now hangout at the hotel around the pool. Looking forward to our group devotions with Eric and a chance to talk about our experiences with each other. We have all been impacted by the experiences so far. The Lord is showing us each moment that he loves these people and wants us to make Him visible to them through our actions. Stay tuned. Jan Reichart
