After talking with Rosemarie and Nelson and learning about the amount of work that still needed to be accomplished before VBS, we decided to go back to Guatemala three days before the campaign began. Wednesday morning, November 6, found us at the Pullmantur office buying a one-way ticket for the same afternoon. We spent the remainder of the morning packing and paying bills so we could be gone.
The bus left at 1:30 p.m. and arrived about 7:30--the afternoon route took a little more time due to the fact that there was more traffic in and around the border and in Guatemala City. Javier and Claudia picked us up. We started working as soon as we got to the house. My workspot was upstairs at the sewing machine! Stephen spent his time, cutting and gluing. There was always a house full of church members helping, as well. Somehow, Rosemarie managed to find time to feed everyone at lunchtime.
During these last 3 days the VBS enrollment continued to rise . . . so we continued to make more name tags, sashes and buttons.
