Thanksgiving is behind for this year but there is more adventure and excitement ahead for me before the year is over. Today we went to a migrant worker camp. The workers are Nicorauguans who pick the coffee beans. It was very intersting. They live in this really poor housing if you can even call it housing. The coffee beans don't all ripen at the same time so it takes about 3 months for them to go through 3 times to get all the ripe beans picked and then they move on.
We went in the morning and there weren't many people around because all the ones that were capable of picking including the older kids were out working. We left and came back after lunch and they were coming back to their small little shacks. We played with the kids, sang songs with them and played games, did a couple of dramas and a couple of testimonies and shared the gospel. The kids seemed to really enjoy it. Whenever we a program for the kids the parents are always right there watching and enjoying it also. It really is a blessing to go to these kinds of places and share the Love of God with people.
Tomorrow we are going to go help with a fund raiser they are doing to build a Rec Center in that area we went to last week that is a very bad, very poor, very crime ridden area that is mostly Nicorauguans They said nobody goes into that neighborhood after 4 in the afternoon because it is just to scary.
Then we fly back to Guatemala tomorrow night. The following morning we are leaving to go to a remote village in Northern Guatemala for about 10 days.
After tomorrow I don't know when I will have Internet available but probably not until about the 10th of December when we get back to the base in Antigua. I will have to report on my travels once we get back to civilization.
