On Friday, May 26, we welcomed ten Summer Sojourner students to Guatemala. They arrived for a three week term of service. Seven of them would be working with us and three were heading to Quetzaltenango to work with our IMB teammates the Stones.
Welcome to Guatemala
Our Summer Sojourner 2023 students
We all stayed the night at our mission house in Guatemala City. After getting unloaded and settled in, we had a time of introduction and sharing before heading out for supper.
We ate at Panda Express.
It was actually Cruz's birthday night. What a fun group to spend your birthday with! If you would like to read about the rest of his day, visit- Cruz Turns 13.
We returned back to our mission house for more fellowship time. At one point the students all shared encouraging words with Cruz on his birthday. We then enjoyed birthday cake together as our dessert.

The next morning we walked to Burger King for breakfast.
We then all headed out. We were going to Chiquimula for the week and the Stones were heading back to Xela. Here is our group before making the four hour drive East.
We stopped for lunch at Pollo Campero in El Rancho.
Next we grabbed coffee from Cafe Barista
We made it to Chiquimula late that afternoon and got settled into the hotel. Everyone enjoyed a nice swim before supper. My next several posts will be about our time with these amazing students. They really have been a dream team!!!
