Donations: thanks to all who donated. We stocked the shelves in the donation room totally full for the time being. Katie and the other long term volunteers will distribute the items as needed to the families of San Lucas in the weeks after our departure.
Adventures on top of the church :) So when the gate is unlocked, you are sure to find someone who has snuck up those scary narrow steps for a few moments of quiet to take in the view of town and the lake. This is the most peaceful place to be in all of San Lucas!
We loved traveling by boat ride. The lake was breathtakingly beautiful for our rides to Santiago, Pana, and Santa Cruz.
We miss you already Brady!
Panajachel was again a highlight for many of us. The hospitality from Divine Mercy's sister parish (St Francis of Assisi) was profound. Fr Victorino was so sweet and generous and we are very grateful for our day with him. 
Freash fruit for the whole group while Emma translated my list of questions for me to the two padres.
Notice the statue of St Francis below. A real bird is resting on his hand!
The printed out google earth photos of lake Atitlan showing the parishes under the leadership of Fr Victorino and his two associate priests.

Later today we will have some of the kids update the blog about our Volcano camping experience and day in Antigua. Off to breakfast now before our drivers arrive at 8:30am to take us back to Guatemala City for our flight home.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph pray for us.
