Our First Excursion

We all got up early in the morning to have a fun filled day in Antigua.  We went on a wonderful tour, full of fascinating history of Antigua, Guatemala.  Im sure the students will tell you all about what they learned.  Each student really enjoyed the full day of learning.  After lunch we all went shopping in the markets and stores.  Many people got gifts for the people back at home.  So hopefully your getting something.  After shopping we came back for a great dinner made by Sonito (our personal cook) then went right into devotions.  Devotions tonight were really great, we all discussed what we witnessed and how our cultures are different.  Many things we saw made us think of what we have and how we can help others.

P.S. sorry its so short tonight.  It is about two or more hours later then when we write the blog and I can't write well at all when I'm tired.  Thanks for your comments and continued prayers.  We love you all!!!
