This year we had several short-term groups in Huehuetenango, Guatemala. Here we see a group from Kalamazoo, Michigan. They were hard workers and had a heart for the needy. During this time in Huehue, we visited several Mayan and Hispanic churches and helped in the building of a future meeting place for the people in Agua Dulce, a beautiful coffee growing area. The group also held some VBS’s for the children. These first two pictures show the group doing crafts outdoors. This is a Maya group of children and there was no building large enough to hold all of the children that came.
While we had some translators, most of the group used
every word in Spanish they had learned in high school to
communicate to children whose parents speak the Mam language.
In another part of the state of Huehuetanango, sheep are central to the economy.
Here we are having a picnic in the “Cuchumatanes”
mountains at about 11,000 feet high. We had anothert VBS
there in a small church plant. A couple hundred children
came.
