Another beautiful day in Guatemala! We split into two groups with one choosing door #1 or door #2 as worded by Pasotr Jim in his devotions.
Door #1 was to eat lunch at the restaurant Las Antorchas in Antigua with chips and guacamole for an appetizer followed by a squash soup and a choice of chicken or grouper with garlic sauce or steak and finishing with a dish of ice cream with chocolate sauce. YUM!
Door #2 included a horseback ride up part of volcano Pacaya and walking the remainder of the way. Pastor Jim was not certain he had made the right choice with this door but admitted he did in the end. The last major eruption was about four years ago. We roasted marshmallows over some small vents. We skied down a steep ash slope after being at the "top of the world" as Guatemala sees it! We were told Guatemala has 37 active volcanoes.
From there a group went back toward the mission house for a church service at the feeding center and others went to the market place to shop for souvenirs and gifts. Back at the mission house Pastor Jim gave devotions reminding us to fix our eyes on Jesus from Hebrews 12:1-3. We finished the day with another amazing meal from our favorite cooks and enjoyed the evening sharing our door choices we made.
