Day 8

Good news, Omara had a baby boy. The baby has not been named as of yet. It's customary in Guatemala for mothers to leave the hospital without a name for their child.

Thursday was a pretty busy day. Pastor Leonel had devotion with the kids and mothers at 8:30 a.m.. Immediately following devotion was the birthday celebration. Myra recognized all of the kids who had a birthday in October, November, and December. We gave out the birthday gifts that Amy and I bagged the day before. Gilma served the homemade birthday cake she made for the occasion. The cake served about 80 people. My job was to take photos.

After the birthday celebration, Myra started part two of the food distribution of beans and corn. A few of the mothers thanked me for my contribution to the mission which purchased the food that was being distributed. Typically, fruits and vegetables are given away on the second day of the food distribution and not beans and corn (beans and corn are more expensive to purchase).

The rest of the day was calm and relaxing. Time to pack and get ready for my trip home.
