Before the missionaries arrived on Friday afternoon for the annual conference, we had a quick 1/2 day to show our volunteers some key landmarks of Guatemala City. The first stop was the Cemetery. Bob H. gave us the history, culture and insights into the customs.
The cemetery is on the edge of the Guatemala City Dump.
There is always one in a crowd. - Thanks Dr. Langley
Then we were off to Casita BenjamÃn to see that ministry. The volunteers loved hugging on the children. Our time was way to short there.

Our tour concluded with a delicious steak meal at our favorite restaurant - Media Cancha. We each split a meal. Pretty Tasty!
When you think about it, here we had experienced
death (cemetery),
disease (the dump),
poverty (day-care center)
and now luxury (nice steak),
all this within a 2 hour time period.
My emotions have been challenged.
I am so thankful for God's blessings!
