Guate(POP), days 3-6

Sunday-  Today we all went to church.  The church here is HUGE (about 5,000 people)!  There was a good message and they sang mostly normal American songs that were translated into Spanish.  In the afternoon we made bracelets and jewelry with the girls:)

Monday-  The highlight of today was a visit up the mountains.  We delivered food to widow friends.  It was really nice to get to know the women a little and see all of the kids.  There is a big need in the mountains!

I also went on some errand runs today.  We went to buy wood to make a hand-railing for the stairs.  Here are some pictures of the logs and the machinery that they use to cut them.




























Tuesday- Today I ran errands around the city.  We went to the paint store to buy paint, but they did not have it.  So we went to a different store that sells paint but they did not have it either.  So we went back to the 1st store later in the day and we were able to buy the paint!  This same thing that happens to me often in Puerto Rico, so I feel right at home:)

Wednesday- Today I TRANSLATED biographies for the girls.  I really like translating!  I also got a lot of office work done before the pizza party!  Tonight all of the girls came and ate in the big fellowship room. We had pizza and afterwards they all enjoyed playing, painting nails and dancing.
