Horses and Coffee and Ziplines, OH MY!!!

This won't be nearly as good as Megans...our apologies :)

Things that were sassy today: the horses (tried to run a few times and one tried to throw James as we were seeing the beautiful El Salvadorian countryside while riding up a mountain), Raul Dalton (our awesome translators' youngest brother tested whether Kara really did know her history, sadly she did not get her degree in French or Salvadorian history so she failed) and Kathryn and Chris' stomachs (please keep them in your prayers)

Things that were delicious: the frozen cappuccinos (for only $1.50!!), the steak, avocado, tomato and yummy sauced sandwiches (does not need anymore explanation) and the complimentary cup of coffee at the end of the tour ("muy bueno"). (Editor's note: we toured a coffee plantation today)

Cool experiences: Riding untrained horses up a beautiful mountain (and getting to see Birds of Paradise, more beautiful flowers, distant volcanoes and other breathtaking views), ziplining (and seeing the views while feeling the wind in our faces) and having a tour of the coffee manufacturing (IT STARTS AS A CHERRY/GRAPE/CRANBERRY LOOKING THING, it's crazy...and crazy delicious, smelling the coffee resting room and looking at cool souvenirs)

And some more: It's great having the Lindas here and being part of our times, we don't quite know our plans for tomorrow we ask for prayers as we are flexible AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY :) LOVE YOU!!

Meredith and Tori

    The team from Guatemala send their prayers and best wishes for a strong finish in your second week as you continue your journey in the Light - even as we begin ours here. It is encouraging to read of your experiences as we reflect on our own - and then to realize that we serve the same God and are bringing the same message of hope and life in Him. Blessings from the Guatemala 21!

    I don't know why you guys are apologizing--of course Meredith would be the logical choice to blog about horses. Duh. Prayed for you all today (and JC, for Lady Di and Courtney as well). I was thinking about the verses that the Roya Couple chose for the Royal Wedding (didn't know I was invited, did you? I've got connections--JK). For those of you who missed it, the passage was from Romans 8--verse 9-21. Have been praying for you all as you not only serve the Salvadorans but also each other (v. 9-13). Sounds like you had opportunities today with some of the team not feeling well. Hoping for a better day tomorrow. Ever forward--
