More of the same today – 2 people sick – Rus and Marissa, but besides that, we continued the work that was set out for us. By lunch time we had loaded 4 trucks full of rock and pretty much finished the block from the basement. Praise the Lord.
Since nothing was really all that different, I thought I would do a “10 ways to know you are on a missions trip to San Pedro” Blog…
10 – You begin your day looking at the beautiful sunshine on Lake Atitlan.
9 – You head to the restroom and find something swimming in your toilet.
8 – During your morning shower you decide to move the shower head and get an electric jolt from the “widowmaker” that is attached to the shower head to heat up the water.
7 – As you get dressed, you start to realize that you are running out of clean clothes because you are getting clothes too dirty to wear more than one day.
6 – With your limited language ability you have learned how to ask how much something costs, but when the people respond, you have no idea what price they just told you.
5 – On your way out the door, you remember that you have to walk up the hill to get the child care center and you have to remind yourself that the climb up the mountain is well worth it.
4 – As you walk, you find yourself dodging Tuk-Tuks that are flying by you from both directions – many that are coming down the hill are not even on.
3 – You find yourself amazed at the prevalence of the name of God and Jesus Christ painted on Tuk-Tuks, walls of buildings, vehicles, etc. The form of Christianity is all around you.
2 - Finally at the center, you make your way to the window and overlook the beautiful views of San Pedro and you are amazed at the wonder of our God who created it.
1 – The children at the center surround you with their love and enthusiasm – they are as excited to see you as you are to see them.
You have to love ministry in San Pedro! Praise be to God that he would use us to minister to these children and adults of Guatemala.
