Noah Is A Bobblehead!

No new pics today as we didn't want to get the camera wet. We went to a waterpark that was about an hour away from here. Noah had a great time and we finally saw what the Guatemala rainy season is all about! It rained off and on pretty much all day, but that doesn't really matter when you are partying in a waterpark! It had a wavepool, another regular pool, and a pool with slides, various types of buckets dumping water on you and other fun kid-friendly stuff.

One funny comment from Noah today: As we were riding through Antigua on our way to the park, we have to ride over all cobblestone roads. It's quite the bouncy ride, and a difficult one to make if you have to go to the bathroom as I did the other day! Anyway, as we were riding on the cobblestone roads, Noah told us that his head was "bouncing around like a bobblehead doll." He continues to crack us up!

Another God moment: On the way to the park we found ourselves in a dense fog. We prayed that God would remove the fog for us and literally within seconds the fog improved dramatically. We went from not being able to see even 5 feet in front of the car to a pretty good visability. Lauren said that the missionary life demands such prayers, that often you are on your way somewhere and something like really hard rain, fog, or random huge piles of sticks left in the middle of the road block your path. You just have to say, "Lord, I'm going to need you to take care of this for me..." and He does. How awesome! I said maybe we should pray for a million dollars since God was in a habit of answering everything immediately down here, but for some reason everyone thought that that was not the way it worked!


After the waterpark, we stopped at a place called Serita's for ice cream. Lauren had an altercation with the owner because her "egg nog" ice cream was in her words "disgusting." He wouldn't let her get another flavor, so she took a napkin and removed the scoop of "egg nog" and placed it on the counter. Oh that Lauren!

Tomorrow we will be going to a mega-church with over 10,000 people!

Hello! I just found your blog through Michelle Ferry's blog and it is awesome! I am embarrassed to say that as a Kids Ave. volunteer I didn't know that you were on this trip. Please know that my family will be praying for all of you every night while you are away. May God bless you all for spreading Christ's love!

WORD OF GOD SPEAK!

"This is how we know what love is: JESUS CHRIST LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR US. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers...Dear children, let us NOT love with words or tongue but with ACTIONS, and in TRUTH...And this is His command: to believe in the name of His Son, JESUS CHRIST, and to LOVE one another as HE commanded us." 1 John 3:16,18,23
