On Tuesday we went to an area of Guatemala called Villa Nueva. It is a dangerous area and has been on the news often because of crimes so we went to shine some light in a dark place.
Our first stop was a public school that had about 500 students. We got to have assembles with the 1st-3rd graders and then with the 4th-6th graders. It was really cool to be able to do this in a public school. In fact, the government has been meeting with us and has been sharing their desire for us (YWAM) to be more involved in the public schools. They realize that by bringing the Gospel in, the dark is driven away and they are interested. It is pretty cool. We cleaned bathrooms and painted as well in the morning and with 50 people it flew by!

Then in the afternoon we went to another public school. There were about 1,000 kids at this school, but the teachers were really organized and the students were well behaved and ready to hear the truth. The team that we are working with did dramas and shared testimonies. They also replaced a roof, painted and cleaned bathrooms. Again, it all went by fast with so many people working hard. We even had a clown, who is a volunteer from a local church who wanted to help us out. It was a fun place to be!
