Saturday

Saturday morning gave us a chance to settle in and get orientated. Sandy led a jewelry making workshop for some of the older girls, a few of the guys went shopping to buy groceries for tomorrow's picnic, while others stayed behind at the Oasis and played with the girls. We are excited for tomorrow -we just found out that the Nazaret church will be holding their morning service at the Oasis and then staying for the family picnic and games in the afternoon - what an awesome opportunity to build a connection with the local church!

Safe Arrival

We arrived safely at the Oasis at 10:30pm along with all our luggage!

We were delayed just 30 mins in Minneapolis while the plane was de-iced...hard to explain exactly what that is in Guatemala...
