July 4th in Guatemala
This afternoon, we drove across town to see Cammie VanRooy. She's been a short term missionary working at Casa Bernabe this past month.

The orphanage is just 25 km outside of Guatemala City on the way to El Salvador on some gorgeous rolling hills. Cammie showed us her class room where she teaches music. There are 150 kids and 2 little bitty ones were dropped off there yesterday. We enjoyed our short visit and walked away encouraged and thrilled to see how the Lord is using Cammie. For those that don't know, it was at Cammie's Grandparents house, John and Elaine Beekman, where Glenn and I met 28 years ago. And our Gary is named after Cammie's uncle. So, we go way back.

Earlier in the afternoon, we celebrated the 4th of July by going to TGI Fridays and watched the World Cup soccer game. Gary was wearing the Italy soccer shirt that I had bought him last year, however, he did have a shirt underneath to wear, just in case Italy lost. I am rooting for Italy, now that Brazil and Argentina are out of the World Cup. Glenn is rooting for Portugal.
