Wednesday- La Galeria

Today we visited a little village called 'La Galleria' or the gallery. It has a tremendous vista of Guatemalan mountains all around. Like the area, the people there are beautiful and welcoming.

We visited a school there to help teach a new message to the children 'God created the starts, the universe, the Earth, Guatemala, and most importantly: God created you.

This was a new concept for all of the children, but they were very intelligent and quick to understand what we were teaching them. We had a chance to teach them about different star patterns in the sky, the planets in the solar system, and how the earth is related to all of that.

We played games, colored, taught, laughed, did a skit, and sang some songs. We also had an opportunity to feed the children. We fed the 60 people that were in attendance, and they were very appreciative.

Tomorrow we have more of the same planned. However, the village we are going to is much more remote. We have to drive an hour, and then walk/hike a pretty steep grade for another half hour or more. Please pray for safety and health for the team.

We covet your prayers and are very excited to share all of our little stories with you.
