This is the day the Lord hath made and what an awesome creation we had an opportunity to witness today. Following a brief time of worship we loaded up the vans and headed for Lake Atitlan. Along the way we saw beautiful mountains, well maintained fields, and His Guatemalan children.

At the Lake Attilan nature preserve some of us climbed the mountain, viewed monkeys, amazing waterfalls and ziplined. At the end of the hike a wonderful picnic lunch was prepared with love by our AWESOME cooks, Sandie DeVries and Loie Wiers. Thanks to these ladies we were unable to loose any extra pounds we were hoping for. These wonderful women start their day at 4:30 am to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner for us including homemade pies, cakes, and cookies!

We also visited the market in Panajachel on the edge of Lake Atitlan. The view of the lake was gorgeous.....what a spectacular blue!

On the way back to the mission house we had an authentic Guatemalan meal at a fabulous restaurant. We thank God for his creation and his safety traveling many miles today and every day. We are also very grateful for our talented drivers who navigate mountain curves and avoid chicken buses, mopeds, bicycles and pedestrians. Thank you Dave, Mark, Shawn and Dellen!!!

Tonight we finished our busy day by worshiping with the Guatemalan family of Pastor Roderico from KCC, a member of our team, and singing a few songs in Spanish. Singing "How Great is Our God" seemed very appropriate at the end of the day after viewing His beautiful Guatemala!
