This morning we left early from Antigua on a long bus ride through the winding roads into Xela, Guatemala. Once in Xela, we arrived at Cerecaif, a privately run orphanage. The kids here are amazing. They truly are filled with pure joy and are so happy and appreciative of what few earthly posessions they have, it humbled the team. Sharing time with them blessed us all. These precious children are so well behaved and so content that it is obvious that they are given the best care. 
In one of the groups there was not enough shoes to go around because some new kids had arrived this week. One of the boys, Vincint, recognized that his friend was not going to get any shoes. He immediately took of his new pair of shoes and humbly handed them to his friend without hesitation. What a true picture of Christ-like humility we were able to see through Vin
cint. We did have extra shoes that were in his size and so Vincint was still able to receive new shoes.
Hogar Temporal was our next stop. This orphanage is filled with so many eager and busy little ones. We shared several of our new favorite worship songs in Spanish as the kids came to join us. Once everyone was gathered we told a Bible story. All of the kids were so excited and running to sit in our laps and give us hugs and kisses. We separated into our different groups to help them do a craft and learn a new Bible verse. In the groups we also passed out their new shoes!
