TULUCHE'

Each child received a picture of themselves

in a frame that they decorated....it was a great

end to a great week.

We will miss each smiling face....as they received their

back packs, we all got a hug and a "mucho gracias".

The mayor asked that "we not forget them".

We already have plans for next year.

Surprise....each child got a back pack with school supplies

Let's have some cake....

Serving Gleaners soup...

We had enough soup for 100 people and fed 250

It was a "loaves and fishes" miracle!

Party time.....

Walter and Stephen's boys

One of our little ones

Our translator, Daryl

Some of the moms who wanted to help us...

this was so new to them....they were a blessing

The mayor would come to see how we were doing

some of our sweet kids

John helping a young man with his craft

First day of VBS...Philip is welcoming the kids

PACAYA VOLCANO

Raphael and Eric, our guides, made us an

incredible lunch on the volcano...they had

carried all the food up with them in thei

back pack. They made guacamole, fresh

vegetables and sandwiches...now if only we

did not have to walk back down the volcano.

Steve did not want another sun burn....

or he is in disguise for the CIA

Some of us...Philip and I included....decided

that we did not have to proof anything to anybody

and rented a horse to climb the last half...

which to some of us is called a Thigh Master!

The Pacaya Volcano is 8400 feet above sea level

the climb is mostly vertical.

the lava rock on the botton of the volcano has come

down in within the last month.

It is so warm that some people were

roasting marshmallows!
