Today we had the opportunity to attend an all day church service at
Xepocol, a local congregation in the mountains surrounding
ChiChi. There were approximately 600 people including those that came from surrounding churches. As you can see it was held under a tent like structure for shade.
Many people came from surrounding villages by bus, trucks, cars and walking.
Acapella came to sing from the town of Quiche. They were very good and several of their members are related so they travel as a family plus Dad is a preacher.
Gaspar, the gentleman pictured above who is a leader in the church and is one of
HTI health promoters, assisted in the meeting. It was a good time to talk with many of the people in the
congregation and for them to start to know us better. On the way home, Kemmel gave a ride to people who needed transportation. I rode in the back of the pickup with several younger women and children, while a few more mature
Guatemalans rode in the cab.
