Sunday afternoon the Srs. played with the orphanage children in the pool. One student told us that a child on Sat. seemed sad and would not smile, but by the end of the afternoon with our teens they were smiling. It is so neat that they can see how people showing they care can make a difference. We attended a different church tonight where the students once again ministered with testimonies and song. As they attend these Spanish speaking services without a translator, it is neat to see how much they have retained of their Spanish from class. The message focused on being a servant of Christ which is what the seniors are practicing. Monday started a little earlier than previous days, but no complaints at all. We just want to praise how cooperative these students have been. We have not had to tell anyone it is bedtime (I think their bodies are telling them this.)
Getting them up in the morning has not been an issue. It has been mentioned that the guys are getting Don Updike up-what a role reversal!
Today some of the girls washed windows at the baby house and older folks home. They also cleaned the cribs. The rest of the team moved rock, sand and concrete at the hospital. It was quite amusing to us and especially to the Guatemalan workers to see the team try to make stucco stick to the walls.Our students and some of the men had a hard time getting the right technique in the wrist action. Many of the students are trying things they have NEVER done before.
Keep praying for safety, spiritual growth and changes from the inside out.
Don and Donna for the Srs.
