Our plane landed in Guatemala City yesterday about noon. After a short trip on the shuttle we checked in to the hotel and had a quick lunch. A giant celebration and lighting of the city's Christmas tree was last night and there were many roads closed next to the hotel. So we left for the campaign earlier than normal to be sure we could get out of the area before the festivities started.
We made our way to a neighborhood we visited on our last trip in August. It wasn't running this time, but it was really windy and cold (okay, maybe in the high 40's with the wind chill.) The inflatable was a big hit, as always. There were many families who stayed for the movie (sitting on the cold ground.) Stephen did a great job sharing the gospel. Our return to the hotel in the nightmare traffic took almost an hour and a half. Think Country Club Plaza lighting ceremony and multiply by 10 There are almost 5 million people in this city and I think they were all there last night.
Church this morning at VidaNueva Guatemala City! Singing in Spanish and English and then a sermon in English! We went to orientation for VBS which starts at 8:00 in the morning. There are more than 200 pre-registered so we're going to be busy!
Campaign tonight in a neighborhood we've never visited. Loved the kids who were so patient and orderly waiting for their turn on the slide!
It seems like I'm always in a hurry or running out of time when I blog and tonight is the same. Watch for VBS pictures and more coming this week.
