Our mission team was up bright and early ready for day two. We were busy again today in clinic. The house is coming along well and we also started VBS today with the help of one of our translators, Karla, who is a school teacher in Zacapa. About 70 children came to learn about Noah today. The question of the day is, "Thus far on our trip, what has struck your senses?"
Mary:
Sounds of San Pablo - "cock adoodle doooooo, ee-haw, ee-haw, grunt grunt grunt , waa waa waa, I don't want to see the dentist he's going to hurt me" (in Spanish of course!) Today's sounds of San Pablo reflect the rural village.
Carmen:
Sights of San Pablo-children lauging while working on Noah's Ark worksheets and decorating arks, singing songs in Spanish that have a familiar tune for those of us from America (motions to songs are the same in Guatemale as in America), and watching Karla-one of our CALMS interpreters read the story of Noah to the children as they listen. God is Good!
Rhein:
Sounds of San Pablo- All the little children asking you to play soccer (which they call Futbol) which at first may be hard to understand a little, but then you catch on after a little while.
Diane:
The presence of God at work in the village. Our team is just a tool. The people have so much patience. They stand in the sun waiting for us and then will sit hours waiting to see the dentist or medical staff of the team. I can only hope to have this patience when i return home.
Steve: It was touching for me to see two little girls, perhaps 3 or 4 years old they came ready with their cups for the vbs snack, and after they had eaten a bit of their sandwich one of them stowed the remaining portion of the sandwich and their apple for each of them in her shirt while what I assume was her sister took back their cups and had them refilled for both, I appreciated their cleverness and sense of community.
