A midweek update before the team travels back tomorrow. Please continue to keep them in your prayers as they finish up their mission trip and head back!

Our final day in LaCuchilla, and perhaps our longest.
We were greeted at the CarePoint by ladies of the municipality that taught and participated in a cooking class recently held at the CarePoint. They were already working on our delicious lunch.
We then moved on to our traditional walk around the community to learn about some of the local agriculture and meet and talk with some families of the CarePoint.
After our lunch, some of our team assisted the teachers with their programs, while others worked on improving the safety of some of the play equipment. We were also able to connect some of the children with their prayer partners at this time.
We finally ended our time with a lovely dinner with the staff of the CarePoint. We ate, laughed, and strengthened new and existing relationships.

What a fun afternoon! 🎃🍬

Thank you to everyone who came out to Trunk or Treat on Sunday! From creative trunks to carnival games to lots of happy kids, our campus was full of fall fun. A huge thank-you to every volunteer who decorated, set up, ran games, and cleaned up. We couldn’t have done it without you! 🧡

We loved meeting so many new families from our community. We hope to see you again soon!

We received an exciting update from our mission team! Please continue to keep them in your prayers this week:
An exhaustive couple of days filled with smiles. Yesterday was a long uneventful travel day. Grateful for the good weather. This morning we headed into La Cuchilla. Where we were greeted with smiles, hugs and a traditional Guatemalan lunch. Next on the agenda was an afternoon of games played with about 70 of the CarePoint children. Lots of smiles and laughs from everyone.
