Thursday
Things are going well. We have been in several more school, passing out several thousand books.Today we were in an all-boys elementary school. It was a lot of fun. Phil taught all the guys how to make (tooting) noises by blowing into their hands....as well as cupping their hand under their arm pits. He´s very proud.
Today I met a boy named Christian. He just moved here 3 months ago from New York City. Something happened with his family and he had to move in with his step dad....or something like that. Anyway, he was he only person in the school that spoke english. The principal brought him on stage with us so he could translate a few things and welcome us in english.
All the other boys in the school looked up to him and you could tell he had a following. I pulled him aside after the school assembly and told him that he was a leader in the school. He had an important decision to make. He was either going to be a positive influence or a negative influence. I told him God may have brought him to Guatemala to make a difference in his new friends´ lives. I gave him my red Book of Hope bracelet and told him to find us Saturday at the Hope Celebration. I pray he comes so I can talk to him a little more in depth.
That´s about all. We are pretty healthy...a few stomach aches and stuff like that....but for the most part all is well.
Tomorrow...Friday...is our last day in the schools. Please pray for us.
