And So It Begins

Greetings from Guatemala! We arrived safely in Guatemala City with about an hour delay but luckily everything ran smoothly.  After a trip to a mall in the city consisting of grocery shopping at wal-mart and lunch at Pollo Campero, we made our way to La Senda.  Since there are many new people to La Senda, we had a quick tour of the grounds and immediately began the traditional Guatemala vs. USA soccer match.  I'm pretty sure Guatemala's winning already.  Our new members have already done an amazing job at learning the kids names and vice versa.  I'm really excited to see Scott Brabon's relationship with Pam and Steve's son, Phillip, develop.  Phillip hasn't spent much time with another missionary kid and has already latched onto Scott.  After dinner, Ethan gave a devotion to the home kids about love, which he took from Romans 12:9.  Afterwards, we of course played more soccer.  We have a big day ahead of us tomorrow consisting of teaching, cleaning, cooking, and as many other jobs that we have time for.  We're all exhausted from our early start this morning, but I am confident we are all about to have an amazing sleep tonight.  Thanks for all of your prayers and support!
