We have arrived safely in Guatemala City! We were greeted at the airport by our drivers from San Lucas. They loaded us up and our luggage and took us to the Lutheran Center. The Lutheran Center has changed a lot since any Salem members have visited. There is now a beautiful guest house for us to sleep in, and a sanctuary above the guest rooms!
We were greeted by the some of the Pastoral team from ILAG (Amanda, Horacio and Padre Horacio). After a quick lunch we met to hear about how the Lutheran church in Guatemala started, and also about how the ILAG school was formed in 1993. ILAG has been working hard to build up and support the school in El Mirador, it was sad to hear that gangs and other members of the community actively try to destroy the school. They say though that God continues to protect them and the school because it is work that is needed!
Currently we are in the process of baking 200 cupcakes to bring with us when we attend the preschool and 6th grade graduation ceremony in El Mirador! Thank you for your prayers for our safe travels and for our friends here in Guatemala. Tonight we will rest up for a busy, full day in Guatemala City.
