Last night was our Guatemala evening at Potton chapel. Tim the development manager from Through The Roof came to lead it. Tim was on the team last year.
We had an exhibition out for people to look at, all stuff from last year in Guatemala. then we had a quiz. on the table were nibbles, crisps and dips, and also tortillas and a traditional dish from Guatemala, Black Beans! (i know the spanish name for it but I cannot spell it!) the winning quiz team were awared a tin of black bean for a prize!! they weren't too sure about that one!
Tim interviewed me and Christina, me about last year, and Christina about why she wants to go this yyear. then we went through some slides of our time in Guatemala last year, Tim explained to everyone as we went through. then we looked at the Bible passages we use over there to demonstrate that God loves disabled people as much as everyone else, and he has not made a mistake or sent the disability as a punishment. and we ended with deaf worship in spanish, we did the sign language nd sung "how great is our God" in spanish.
the evening was wonderful, God was truly there with us. everyone who came seemed to enjoy it, and we hope it has given them more of an idea what we are doing. we were given pads to sell, donated by Christina's grandma, and cards to sell, donated by my cousin in law's parents.
we raised £58.50 last night! thanks go out to Tim for leading, Stan for giving up his wednesday night to us, and all our parents and friends and families for helping! and Chrissy for playing for me while I sang.
Next is blind awareness day! keep up! :-)
