Trinity Lutheran Church Feb 7-15, 2009

16 volunteers from Trinity Lutheran Church volunteered their time to do VBS and construction for the week. This was the first time this church had done a trip with HIM and they seemed to have had a great time interacting with the people and especially children of Guatemala. Though a small group, they were mighty. During the week they built a playgroud at Maria's daycare, varnished tables and built a wall at El Arco daycare, started the foundation for the AA center (a new project HIM is working on) and they leveled the ground in the Orphanage by the nutrition center. They held 3 different VBS meetings - one in Los Palmares, San Antonio, and Altonbran. Along with these many jobs, they also sanded and varnished a playpen at the nutrition center and helped with the weekly feed. It is our hopes that this group comes back! They were a pleasure to work with!
