Travel With Travis

Sunday-Monday

Sunday---
Our group of 15 split into two groups to cover more ground. So today we were in a church service for each group. One was an AG church, and Francisco preached...the other was a full Gospel church and pastor van preached. (My group had to pack 12 people into a small Toyota pickup that was a 2 seater in front, and a small bed in the back...a great mission experience....but a packed ride...and bumpy)

Both groups did a drama in the churches. We then met in a home of the San Marcos BOH director and had lunch. The rest of the day was more training for the schools and then we had a group church service in a training room. We had some worship and I spoke to the group on being foreigeners in life...and living for eternity...our real home.

MONDAY----
One group went into San MArcos city (Van, Francisco, Matt Woody, Abbi, Ashley, Victoria, Melissa, and Jessie) The other group (Travis, Phil, Rhoda, Sonia, Sarina, Felicia, Meagann, Autumn) went to the outskirts of San Antonio (Guatemala). It was much rural, much poor, and rougher roads. We had to park the bus at one point a nearly climb a mountain for 300 yards to get to a small rural school.

But you know what....no one had ever gone to these schools as visitors. And we had an opportunity to be the most exciting thing at their school. It was awesome.

The team is healthy, everyone is doing good.

I won´t be able to post pictures...sorry. I will when I get back.

Thanks for reading, travelling with us on the blog....and most importantly praying for us.

It´s amazing to see these kids grab ahold of God´s Word and read it. They love it. They love the message of Jesus. The need hope....and for Monday at school....it was delivered. God is good.
