Hi...my name is Meredith Toering and I am with the Guatemala missions trip to Huehuetenango. I have so loved the time that I have spent here so far, and am greatly looking forward to the rest of our week. Today we were able to continue with the VBS lesson plans that we have been presenting in previous days. I have the wonderful group of kids ages 2-6...which can pose some difficulties in the whole listening-paying attention part of the lesson...but we have lots of fun with them. The kids were all very excited this morning, and when we asked the careworker why, she explained to us that the children had all been up until 2 am because of the sugar overload we gave them from the movie night last night. Ooops. In the afternoon we were able to just spend time with them and get to know them even more and become a part of their world- which was such a blessing for me. My very favorite part of the day was this evening...we got the chance to return to the orphanage to tuck all the kids into bed-give kisses-tell them goodnight-etc. It was such a special time and I know I speak for the whole team when I say that we all were touched by the time that we were able to spend with these kids tonight. Hopefully we will have the opportunity to tuck them in at least once more this trip. We continue to welcome your prayers for our work with these kids- and that they will understand why we are coming to visit them and see the truth of God that we are trying to teach. We have a busy day lined up for tomorrow, including delivering bags upon bags of clothes to a village up in the mountains, and then returning for an afternoon of VBS. Have a wonderful evening and thanks for your prayers
