Day 5





Today has been an emotion-filled day. We finished painting at the boys' transitional home. As a group we visited the girls' home and the baby home. After lunch, we went for the last time to the boys' orphanage and it was hard to say goodbye. There are many young boys that have many talents and it is hard not to want them to have every chance to develop those gifts. Today we handed out Bibles for them to keep and also some activity papers.

Tonight we will get ready to go to the girls' orphanage in Antigua and spend the night and then return to Guatemala on Saturday. Pray for safe travels tomorrow and for each of us, as it wasn’t easy to say goodbye to the boys today.

Good Morning Nick & Nancy & team,
I can see the joy and love on your faces in that group picture. God is so good to use us to sow seeds for Him; nothing done in His name is done in vain. I will be praying Psalm 5:11-12 over you as you leave: "But let all who take refuge in you be glad;let them ever sing for joy.Spread your protection over them,that those who love your name may rejoice in you." God be with you as you say goodby and travel home.
Love, Dad & Mom VDH
