Lunch with John & Beatris Curtiss...remember our bishop in Florida? We had a delightful day visiting their beautiful Mediterranean home, seeing the contrast at her cousins 'casa tipica Guatemala', and seeing their little piece of paradise where they will build a new home. We loved our visit with these friends.
We attended the baptism of Marta...one of our referrals from the CCM. Her husband Marco Tulio is working toward that goal also. It was wonderful to see some of our former CCM missionaries at work at the baptism. 
Sister Clarke and I at the monthly Break-the-fast dinner Central Mission home.
I went with some of the couple missionaries from the Area office and Hna Clarke & Hna Martino to visit an orphanage (not all are orphans...many have been taken out of their homes for very difficult circumstances) in Chimaltenango. It is run by a member whose whole goal is getting the gospel to the lives of these children and if possible to reunite them with families who are better able to care for them.
Each of their stories are tender and some tragic, but they were safe, happy, and cared for in this home. There were two volunteers (one from Germany/one from Australia) teaching them. We felt the spirit in this home and instantly loved the children and those who are helping them.
