In theory, there will be a slideshow of some pics we've shot on the right hand side. Apparently, our technical skills are not up to the level of the average 8-year-old because it's still not working. Be patient. We're missionaries, not computer whizzes.
We're also going to try to embed a video or two here in a minute. God have mercy on us!
Today was church with the gringos in Chichicastenango. We had a bunch of guests, too. There were some Americans in to visit as well as about 20 kids from the Guatemala City Dump - no kidding.
Some of you know that tens of thousands of people actually live in the Guatemala City Dump. They scratch out a living by digging through garbage to find food and things they can sell. There are some ministries that reach out to these kids. One ministry provides a two week camp in Chichi for some of the higher achieving kids. The ones we saw today have learned some English and presented two songs to us and recited a Bible verse in English. It's so sad to think that in a few days, they'll be back in the dump, digging through trash trying to find something to eat or sell. Please pray for these kids and everyone they live with there. Poverty outside the United States is very different from what we think of as "poverty". Poor people here are not overweight and do not own cars or live in apartments. Poor people here do not have designer shoes or televisions. This is what the other 90% of the world is like.
Speaking of poor, here are some more pics from our trip to Zona Reyna...

Pleased to see Isaac happy in the jungle. That's another photo for his memory scrapbook!
It is heartwarming to see the evangelizing. God bless all those who take the time and show the interest in learning about our amazing God.
Prayers and hugs, Mom
I like the new look!
The pictures of Zona Reyna show what a need there is. We are proud of what you and your Guatemalan friends and associates are doing. Give our best to everyone!
Love Yah!
Dad
