First Day - Feb. 16, 2014

We had a great first day in Guatemala.  We started our day off taking a trip to the Cross on the Hill.... the view was spectacular.  After some photo ops, we attended church and worshiped with Pastor Ronnie.  It was an experience we will never forget.  Following church we were treated to an amazing lunch by our good friend Bindy's family.... chicken, black beans, rice, tortillas, and the most amazing guacamole!!  We are so thankful for our good friends here in Guatemala.  We then spent the rest of the day touring Antigua guided by Alejandro..... did some shopping in the market, admired some beautiful authentic Jade jewelry, and treated ourselves to delicious chocolate!!  After arriving back at Lydia's we were able to get some rest... we didn't get much sleep from a later flight and early morning!  Lydia threw us a BIRTHDAY party for those celebrating their birthdays this week with cake and piñatas!  We are not going hungry here, the food is first class and we so appreciate the cook, Jorge.....  Chad and Jodie led us in some devotions, with some awesome music led by Preston and Michaela.  We are enjoying getting to know each other and looking forward to our first day at Casa Angelina tomorrow!
