Paul called this morning with an update from our group. I could hear him but had to shout to be heard, so the conversation was mostly one-way.
Our group arrived safely in Guatemala last night, made it quickly and smoothly through customs, and slept for a few hours at the Lutheran Center.
This morning they had a wonderful breakfast at what he said was a beautiful restaurant.
They are traveling by bus for most of the day to the village of La Esmerelda, which is in the northern part of Guatemala. On the bus they will be sleeping (my guess) and working on the puppet plays and other activities they plan to do in the village.
Augustana has a partner relationship with the Lutheran Church in La Esmerelda, San Augustin. Janet, one of the leaders from Augustana, has visited La Esmerelda many, many times and Paul has been there as well so they know the pastor, leaders and many families there.
Everyone is doing well. They will be in the village until Thursday and will be back in touch on Thursday or Friday.
Pastor Lynn
