Over the weekend we were able to attend our first Intermissions conference in Antigua. Intermissions is a conference for missionaries all over Guatemala, and this year we had over 600 people in attendance. It was neat to get to meet some other missionaries and hear their stories- especially from one couple who has been here 51 years!
One of the unique things about the conference was that they have people called "servant teams" who volunteer to come down from the states and give free haircuts, massages, or pedicures to missionaries here. We even met one man who did fundraisers and paid some of his own cost to come down here and give free foot rubs to people all weekend! That's a guy who has learned how to serve!
A highlight for us was one night after the services we had a "hymn-sing", where they passed out the hymnals and the praise band played requests for about an hour. It was great to sing all of those old songs with a bunch of people who really enjoyed singing them. (For our Bright Star friends, Ivan would have been whooping and hollering!)
