Los Quatro Gringos stop traffic in Guatemala City!

No, that wasn't the headlines ... but we did feel very safe as armed guards accompanied us today as we visited America Latina.  This school is the Christian school founded by the father of Becky (Zapata) Fernandez in 1954. This school has 2 campuses with a total of nearly 1500 students. We were treated to the "executive tour" by Becky and one of the administrative assistants, Carol. Besides being inspired by the vision and passion to provide Christian formation and education to Guatemalan children, Dave was especially impressed by a visit with the "ice cream man" ... who has been providing the kids with sweet cold treats for 47 years!! He is the only ice cream man allowed to sell ice cream in the school!  Check out the NEXT International blog for more ... and some video!

Oh, and our Guatemalan brothers and sisters aren't too happy about Honduras winning the soccer match!
