Today was our day of rest and relaxation. It was about a 2 hour van ride to our destination. This gave us all plenty of time to get to know each other even better, sharing our stories and also lots of laughs. When we came home, there was time for more fellowship and we also prepared all the supplies for tomorrow night's food and clothes distribution. It's going to be at the same village that we've been working all week, so that will be another opportunity to get to know the families there even more. We're all excited to go back to work in the village tomorrow.  Enjoy our top 10 list of the trip thus far!

Top Ten List
1. Matthew 9:13.  A message from Tico highlighting our need for the Great Physician.
2. Grateful families for the houses that are built.  The houses may seem so little to us, but it means so much to them.
3. Daily Prayer Partners:  We have a daily prayer partner that is assigned via drawing a name out of a hat.  It is touching to see the impact as we pray for each other individually.
4. An impromptu singing of the Hallelujah Chorus with a Guatemalan church choir
5. "Tough guys use duct tape instead of gloves"
6.  A visit to The Feeding Center to see a dream come to fruition -- a daily healthy meal that can help families in the community, one child at a time.
7.  Eye-opening experiences of gratitude from the Guatemalans.
8.  Worship time with devotions and singing at the Mission House.
9.  Duck-Duck-Goose (Pato-Pato-Ganso), a cloud of dust and a lot of laughing.  Guatemalan kids and our kids playing together.
10.  God's promise for tomorrow!
