Good evening!
Well, we had two amazing days! Yesterday, we started off by having some of us have devotions with the special mothers and some of us watching the children.  The older kids (5-13 years old) sang songs for us and recited Bible verses for us with such pride. After that hour, the whole team went to the backyard to help lift the roofs onto the playscape towers.  A short while later, half the team left for the dump to work and play with the kids and half stayed here to finish the last major stages of the playscape.  We brought Pollo Compero (KFC) to the kids in the dump! They were soooo excited! Each child attending the preschool in the community center (which looks amazing by the way) got their own piece. Those smiles were a mile wide! We got lots of hugs :). After lunch we went back to Dories to take the kids on an outing. We ended up taking them to a place that has go karts and bouncy houses and bumper boats. It was soooo fun! The picutures of our team flying around the track with the Dorie's kids are great! What an awesome afternoon!
  Today, we started off by all heading to the National Cemetary of Guatemala City. It was amazing. The cemetary sits on the edge of the dump, so we got to view the entire dump and all its surrounding communities from the outer rim. It was a little different walking around the cemetary with hundreds of black vultures flying overhead.  Joel (mission coordinator) gave us the history of Guatemala, it was extremely interesting. After the cemetary, we headed to the dump to finish up there and then headed back to Dorie's to put the finishing touches on the playscape. At around four o'clock the kids got the chance to go play on the playscape! I can't tell you how happy they were!!!  We will never forget the smiles on those kids faces!
   Tomorrow we're off to Antigua and then we're having a pizza party with the kids. Should be another amazing day!  Thanks for all the prayers!
