This morning we woke up to some clouds to start our day. As we started off to meet the people of Santiago we were greeted with lots of smiles. The town was very busy with work, and vendors setting up for the day. Many of the people we met talked of their love for Jesus. At one point while walking, we came across 23 men mixing concrete on the ground. With 2 ladders, and several buckets they would fill the buckets up, and pass them up the ladders two stories high. Seeing this, John Slama jumped in line, and helped pass up buckets of mud. All of the workers were laughing, and had a good time with his willingness to help.
When we left to return to the Oasis, we stopped in Panajachel to experience the zip line. They strap a climbing harness around you with a pulley system. Then you take a long walk up the side of the mountain, and slide down hanging from a steel cable. It was the experience of a lifetime!
As we headed back on the road, we had a little trouble with one of the vehicles. When you have 15 guys on the road in a different country you tend to get a lot of people staring at you. As we waited for the tow truck, one of their buses (also called a chicken bus) broke down as it passed us. The sound of tire blowing was like a shotgun. So now we have 2 vehicles broke down. That is when the police arrived. After talking with them while one of the officers was carrying a machine gun, they left us to wait for the tow truck.
We arrived back late, but with all we encountered it was a very joyous day we spent sharing in Gods grace.
So, what happened? who had the flat?
