On our arrival there wasn't anyone from Food For the Hungry to meet us, but these gentlemen were most helpful... and Mark suggested we share our chocolate chip cookies with them... and they were pleased. Apparently Cookie is the same in Spanish as it is in English!
Church in Nebaj, which was being prepared for Holy Week. We went in and made 3 wishes... my dad would be so pleased! Nothing like spreading an Irish custom (3 wishes are allowed each time you go into a church for the first time) to Guatemala.

Our suitcases were a tad late in arriving, so we washed out a few things... and McGuyver just happened to have a clothes line in his backpack!
Our team mates were very generous in sharing their clothing with us too!

I will post more pictures in the coming days... just wanted to get a few up for your viewing pleasure!
The trip was wonderful....we enjoyed all of the people and shared much with everyone we encountered. I hope God smiled as much as all of us did!
