1. Tennis!
During sport's ministry, our Pastor knew I liked tennis so he talked with the tennis instructor at the complex, and he let me play. It was a very unexpected treat!
2. Outdoor Church Service on Friday and Saturday
At the church service, I met these two adorable and sweet girls. Cesia, the girl on the right, was patient with my Spanish speaking skills, and we are able to have a good and long conversation. They bought me a lollipop and Cesia gave me her bracelet.
3. (Little) Cliff Jumping and Swimming in the River
Friends of the pastor we work with wanted to bless us, so they took us to a river about two and a half hours away and cooked for us. It was by far the best Sunday I have had in Guatemala. I also had a two hour conversation with our bus driver (in Spanish!) where he opened up and told me about some of the things he was struggling with. God definitely gave me the ability to understand and talk to him because I do not have that much Spanish knowledge.
4. He has a name, Jose Manuel!
Last time we went to the orphanage, I held this little guy who was only seven days old. He didn't have a name, but when I came back this past Monday, they named him Jose Manuel. 🙂
5. Carnival at the Orphanage
We did the carnival at the orphanage this week, and they loved it! It was great to see all the smiling faces.
“And we now that in all things God works for the good for those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” –Romans 8:28
