Guatemala - Day 3

Sunday was a huge day.  We were going to church, lunch and a movie, and the girls from MST were going with us!  They had no idea, though, so it was a big surprise!  We got up and ready and headed back to Guatemala City.  

The church was a HUGE Christian mega church.  It felt a lot like church here in America, except for the size (our church is not a mega church!) and it was all in Spanish!  We each got headphones and listened to the service in English, so that was helpful.  I think my favorite part was the worship.  I recognized most of the songs and it was neat to be able to sing along in Spanish!

After church, we took the girls to lunch at Pizza Hut!  They were thrilled, these girls love pizza!

While we waited for our food, I got Yessica to play tic-tac-toe with me.  She then showed me and Christi her own version of the game.  It was a special bonding moment and we had a blast!

Lots of hungry girls!

After lunch, we quickly headed to a nearby movie theater, and we saw Smurfs 2!  The girls had really been wanting to go see a movie, as they rarely get to go see one, so it was really fun!  It is actually called Los Pitufos 2 and let me tell you, it is not easy to watch a movie in a language you can't speak!

Then we took the long drive back to Chimaltenango from Guatemala City.

Lots of cows :)

Did I mention that Guatemala is absolutely beautiful?

I tried not to cringe, but yikes!  What got me the most was the amount of people squeezed onto a motorcycle!  Like the family of 4 that included a baby.  Eek!!

And back to MST we went.  We did a cute craft with the girls.

Then we headed back to Antigua and ate at a delicious Guatemalan restaurant!
