Playing, Working . . . Having Fun!!

Wednesday the boys came over and we really didn’t do much of anything except play Xbox and watch movies. The Xbox was pretty much the ultimate treat as they played it any and every spare minute they had.

Thursday was the first full day for the boys. We started the day with a devotional from Luke 22:39-46. After playing a little, we all went to Joya Grande to help out some farmers in one of our Bible studies. It was good for the boys to see a different culture than what they are used to.



They also had a good time playing soccer with the kids in our Bible study and just spending some time talking with people that they normally wouldn’t have the chance talk to.

Friday, while many people in Guatemala were participating or watching processions, we hung out at the house and talked about the death of Jesus Christ and what it means for us. We also had a good time watching movies and playing Xbox (as I said, it was a hit with the boys). We actually had a soccer tournament on the Xbox, and of course the victor was Derrick!

Saturday was a day to get out of the house. After going through the normal morning routine and talking about the Resurrection of our Lord JC, we headed to the capital. We went to a place called Planeta Maya where the boys were able to play arcade games, ride bumper cars, and take a walk through a haunted house (only two of them did this). The kids enjoyed the change and the chance to do something that they are usually not able to do.

Saturday night, we all participated in an an “American” tradition; we dyed eggs for the next day. This was a first for the boys, and they had a good time making the colors and their own unique designs.
