Day 28 The end of Week 4 and pictures from yesterday!

Today we drove to Antigua. We bought some souveneirs and hung out most of the day. This is our 4th year to go to Antigua, so it gets a little bit old. We leave for home tomorrow. Now that we have left the kiddos (The saddest day of my life every year) Im very ready to get home! We leave the airport at like 8 and dont get home until 7 because we have a super long layover in Miami. Sucks. Anyway, this has been an amazing trip and we are so blessed that we were able to be here for a month. This is a crazy country with some amazing people. Its so corrupt and at the same time has some of the sweetest people living here. We cant wait to go back next year!!!! Thank you again for your support and prayers we have felt so safe this entire trip and considering that we lived in between a drug lord and a hit man for three weeks, God was clearly protecting us. Please pray for us as we fly home!!!

Pics of the work project on day 27 We cleaned out a building painted it and laid three truckloads of gravel!





On the 27th day we also gave journals out to all of the Awanas kids. People from Dallas wrote notes to each kid by name. They kids loved them!



One of the guys that works at the farm climbed up a tree and got some coconuts down. We all drank coconut juice during our work break. So good!!


We also got to see the food kitchen in action (the NWBC group had not seen the kids at the kitchen yet. It was great to see these little kids again. We got to know them so well over the last 4 weeks. Just think...if these kids didnt have this food kitchen three times a week, they would be eating bread and cream for their meals...Julio wants to extend it to 5 days a week and bring in another 50 kids. YOU CAN HELP!!! Just go to CAM international and support Julio Garcia in Guatemala. Ask me about it if you are interested!



These our pictures from last night. SAD NIGHT! But there was also good stuff. Here are some pics of the dance, mime, and saying goodbye!
