Sunday, June 29

We began our day by leaving Lisa behind at the Holiday Inn and going to present at Cristo Rey (Christ the King) Lutheran Church just about 15 minutes away. Lisa was fighting a little sickness…
We arrived and quickly set-up with help of Neome and Ossani as well as Daniel Reyes, all friends who live in Guatemala but who have become new members of our mission team. It was a blessing to have them help setup, present and help take everything down. On top of that, the two girls were awesome with Christian. He quickly bonded with the girls! We finished our program, which runs about an hour and ½, about the same time the worship service was concluding. Because it was the last Sunday of the month, they had cake and punch for the June birthdays! What a cool idea! We were able to stay for about 45 minutes and socialize. It was cool to visit and talk with Victor (also known as the Guatemalan Matt Morrison-from our 2002 and 2003 Mission Trips)



Christian, showing the boys and girls how Jesus died on the cross and died for our sins.

We then stopped by to pick up Lisa and went to Vesuvios Pizza just about 10minutes from the hotel. It was a blessing to be able to eat with Rebeca’s family as well as Neome and Daniel. Eating at Vesuvios was an experience! Spain and Germany were in the final 30 minutes of the European Soccer Finals…Alberto was a crazy nut…rooting for Spain…thank goodness Spain won (there was an eruption of screams and cheers from everyone-no lava)







After lunch we drove to the Artisan Park for about 15 minutes and then drove to Zone 6 for our evening Presentation. The Church in Zone 6 has been a favorite stop for our mission team each year (2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003) For such a small church, the people have such a huge heart for the Lord. It was amazing seeing some of our favorite children we have seen on past mission trip...all grown up. We knew right away the familiar faces when we saw Stefani and Kevin…They are now 16 and 13 years old…wow! Again,we had our team as well as Ossani, Neome and Daniel helping! Again, Christian did a great job as the role of Jesus and we had an amazing time of prayer. Again, as in the past, people from the streets came in to see and hear what was going on! We left the church in Zone 6 and headed for Antigua for our 2 night stay at a little hotel call the Hotel el Carmen.
