You’ve heard it all from everyone else…not much to add. It’s our last day of work; folks will finish painting, laying pipe & filling in all those ditches they dug. The Guatemalan Thanksgiving is on Sunday, and the kitchen is preparing to feed 400 guests from around the city who are friends and families of Casa Bernabé. The children will be doing presentations of song and dance for the guests. I’m very impressed by the self-confidence and poise even the youngest has, to be able to speak and perform in front of an audience.
The children gave both teams a “thank you” performance last night, which included handmade thank you cards, songs, and dances. Although we knew they probably did it for each team that visits (all the children knew the songs, not just the ones on stage), it was still very moving and appreciated. It doesn’t seem real that almost a week has already passed, and that we will have to pack up tonight, so we can be on the road by 8 AM tomorrow, on our way to Antigua.
I can hear the women in the kitchen chopping food…time to become a scullery maid!
Love,
Frances (who did this entry with great trepidation and under much protest!)

Hi Frances,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, despite the trepidation! As we read each entry, we can see how God is moving powerfully through the mission team and the local folks. Have a great day of feasting as well as safe and smooth travel home.
Blessings to all,
Vicki C.
