We had a wonderful service this morning at the completed church. The Sabbath is always the highlight of the trip. The gratitiude of the members for the work that God has allowed us to perform is overwhelming.

We had a great song service in two languages-in spanish be one of the elders at Santiago (I can't spell his name!) and in english by Linval Henry.

We then had Sabbath School in english and spanish. The evangelist then had the worship message. A big thanks to Gracie Ramia and Josue Guevara for translating the worship service for us. They along with Diego, Carolina and Joanna have done a great job of assisting with the translation duties during the week. For those of us that are not fluent spanish speakers, they provide an invaluable serice (and make me want to learn spanish).

We then had lunch at the hotel with the church members and had a baptism. It was a great ending to our time in Santiago. The people were very warm and inviting. I hope to be able to visit again soon.

We are now on our way to Lake Atitlan for our vacation time. We are all looking forward to a little rest before returning to the US and getting back to our normal routine.
More to come later.
