The afternoon was spent at the park, sleeping, talking, playing basketball with the kids, reading in the Reading Room, and listening to a few people practicing music for the evening church service. We had a special church service joined by locals and some of the older orphans from Casa Samuel. One of the orphans shared his testimony and new friends expressed their appreciation while Rafi translated for us. After the service, we said some goodbyes and then headed to a familiar place, the ¨golden arches.¨ We just returned to Rafi´s church and said goodbye to a family that we´ve gotten close to, a mother and her four children who have been deserted by their father. Last night, we raised over $300 by our team as an offering to the family so that their electricity, which has been off for three months, can be turned back on. Today was the oldest boy, Christopher´s, birthday and we celebrated with a feast at McDonald´s.
Signing off for the first Guatemala trip,
