Group One — Arrived
We had a very good travel day so far. The flights were on time, the weather was clear, and the transitions between flights went smoothly. When we arrived in Guatemala City, the bus from our motel was waiting nicely, and we loaded up and made the 5 minute drive to the motel.
Because we arrived so early in the day, our rooms are not yet ready for us. But the lobby is beautiful and comfortable, so it’s not too bad to just wait. We ate lunch in the motel restaurant. It was a delicious buffet that cost about $8 per person. The wait staff was gracious and patient while we tried to communicate with our limited Spanish.
Now Bill and a crew is heading to the bank to change some money over, and I’m getting ready to head to the big store to do some grocery shopping. Then we’ll relax here at the motel before meeting up with the rest of our group tomorrow morning.
So far this has been a very fun adventure. I hope it stays this interesting all the way through.
Christie… for the group.
Praise God!!!
I’ve been praying for you all constantly today and am SO GLAD to hear that you all made it!! I can imagine it has been a fun day exploring Guatemala City.
We leave in a couple hours and i CAN’T WAIT to join you all!
In Him,
Molly
Christie, What a wonderful and familiar voice you are! I’m immediately taken back to the previous trips. Your gift of journaling is such a blessing. This mothers heart feels better already, just hearing from you that all is well so far, and knowing you are there among the troups and keeping watch. Poor Molly, I think I talked to her three times today before they got off and to Chicago!
Have prayed for you allm and will cont. praying for group two for their joining up with you in just hours now. Give Spence a hug from us. Take care. Julie
