Jalapa
Our weekend went great. It was so nice to have a change of scenery and things to do. The guys helped add new wiring for the Esperanza Church School. The ladies made 10 puppets for the 10 children in the school. We had lots of fun being creative and it was great to know the 5 and 6 year olds would love them. We made a cow, pig, dog, fox, elephant, pelican, mouse, bear, rabbit and lamb. They were so cute as you can see in the picture in the slideshow of Jalapa.
We were all thankful for the wonderful food Mrs. Sharen Rickenbach made. It was a nice change from the Guatemalan food, plus she is an amazing cook. The Lord protected us on our journey as you may know Guatemalan roads and traveling aren't the safest. Thank you for your continuing prayers. I hope you are enjoying the pictures. God Bless!

Shopping at the outside market.On Saturday we slept in and then went to the bank to exchange our US money for Quetzales, the Guatemalan currency. Then we headed for the market to experience the culture. After we went to the outside market we went to buy food for Sunday. It started to rain so we all (all 6 of us and our groceries) crammed into a "tuk tuk". Then we ate supper, and played a few games, then prepared ourselves for Sunday!
