I learned how to sit in the back of a truck with a skirt on. So not easy, but I got it! Haha...
We had Sunday worship in the yard of the pastor's house. It was breathtaking. Here's Janet and me with the pastor's wife and his daughter Eldi.
We then came back, changed out of our uncomfortable skirts, and hopped into the truck to head out. Here's Fabio (seminary student who came along with us), Janet, Katie, and Josh (two of the Eller missionary kids).
We went to Zaculeu, one of the sites of the Mayan pyramid ruins.
Oh the ladies!
The field where a soccer-like game would be played. The winning team's prize, you ask? The privilege of being sacrificed... what an honor (::sarcasm::)
Jumping! I hope Emil's camera caught a better shot of this.
Artsy-fartsy Janet's picture of Ben (the third Eller kid).
We then came back and got to talk with David and Helen Ecstrom, the translators of the Chuj Bible. All ears were theirs.
We had the privilege of eating dinner with the Ecstroms and another family, the Perraltas (a family doing educational ministry). Here's dinner: Guatemalan tamales, made of rice and not corn!
Boy, as unflattering as this picture is, the tamal was stinkin' good! Reminded me of samgaetang with the chicken and rice! No beans in this meal! Yeahhhh!
Me, David, Helen, Janet, and Chris. Honestly, David and Helen are the real deal missionaries. Their stories are so incredible. If only my life could be lived like theirs... They are the Jim and Elisabeth Elliot of Guatemala (so many kids are named after them!).
