First Sabbath

We had a great Sabbath here in Guatamala. We had a wonderful breakfast and then had Sabbath School here at the hotel. The entire Santiago Sacatepequez church congregation came here and worshipped with us. Their members led Sabbath School and church.

The pastor of the church, Pastor Carlos Pereza, pastors five congregations. He preached a great sermon-very passionate. It was very moving and well spoken.

Pastor and translator

One of the members was really pulling double duty today-he sang four songs AND did translation duties for most of the speakers. He did a great job!

After church, everyone relaxed and talked and rested. Some of the group helped organize all of the medical and donated materials to give away during the week.

We had a great worship tonight with the church members and then reviewed the construction and medical plans. We are set for sunday and getting a lot of work done.

Evening worship

We are playing games tonight and getting to know each other. We have a great crew and should have a great trip!

More tomorrow after our first day with a full crew.
