This morning was quite interesting. Getting
16 people through 4 bathrooms (and only 1 hot water tank) was a unique
challenge! But everyone did really well about being quick and considerate, and
eventually everyone made it through.
We had a breakfast buffet and people ate as
they were ready.
 |
We
played so many different card and board games during their visit! Each morning,
someone would pull out a game to play.
|
We left our house around 11:30 a.m. and
headed over to a friend’s ranch. Mrs. A and her daughter C went to Guatemala
with us, and she graciously opened up her home for lunch and her white-tail
deer ranch for a tour!
 |
The
A’s have a beautiful house! Here, everyone is gathered in the trophy room to
hear a little bit more about the farm and what they do.
|
We all piled into a couple of different
vehicles (several other members of the Guatemala missions team had joined us)
and headed out for the tour. I rode in the jeep with Mr. A and my siblings, and
we saw a HUGE buck on our way out!
 |
Our
first stop was the cabin/cottage that they keep on their property for
photographers and hunters to rent.
|
 |
We
girls outside with the jeep.
|
 |
Then
we drove past the breeding pens, and saw this beaut roaming around.
|
 |
After
we finished the tour, we went back to the house for lunch. We had delicious
chicken tortilla soup and some different types of desserts.
|
We returned home that afternoon and relaxed a
little bit before our next event. We had invited the Guatemala mission team and
several other people from church to join us for pizza, s’mores, ice cream and a
bonfire.
 |
We
had a lot of food!
|
 |
We
had about 30 people out. The weather was great for a bonfire; crisp, but not
too cold.

We
were shocked by the number of people who had never had s’mores before! Of
course, we were quite happy to introduce them to this all-American dessert. J

People
stayed really late to visit! Our time of fellowship was so sweet. We were
surrounded by believers, we were speaking English and Spanish, we were singing,
laughing, and talking! Perfection!
|
 |
Still
talking!
|
I didn’t make it to bed until 1 a.m. that
night, but it was so worth it! We had a wonderful time of fellowship!
To
be continued . . .
