How to begin? The day started with 25 of us preparing breakfast for the children at the orphanage. We made scrambled eggs, chocolate chip pancakes, fruit and juice. Our day started at 5:00 am and it is 11:00 pm and we have just finished with our evening devotions! So it has been a long and emotional day. We had to say goodbye to all the children, and it was a tearful good bye. As far as our work project goes-- all was completed and we actually got both of the other floors grouted. Thank you to the tech savvy person who fixed the problem with the Photobucket link. We have to be ready to leave tomorrow morning at 6:00 am to head back to Guatemala City. We will do some sightseeing on the way home, too. The plan is to go to a lake for a boat ride and lunch and be back in Guatemala City around 7:30 pm. There was continued progress with Celine but continue to pray for her; pray for safety as we travel back to the city; pray for the heart of the children we had to leave, as there were many sad hearts and crying eyes. We all have that mixed feeling of knowing we have to leave but really wanting to stay. Tomorrow night is also our farewell dinner with Buckner and Sunday we will have a chance to see a little more of Guatemala City, and then a late flight (8:30 pm) and an early morning arrival back in East Martin. So till then... Good Night!

We are looking forward to your safe arrival back in East Martin, and to hear the stories and see the pictures from the trip. God has indeed blessed you and will continue to do so, and bless those whom you have reached out to. And you're welcome for fixing the link to your Photobucket site... :)

Hey Chase, looks like you are giving Bruce some sdvise on laying tile (:>). Glad you guys all had a great trip and provided a blessing for the children and the community. Nothing better than doing the Lord's work.
God Bless you all.
