This summer I went to Guatemala for a week and a half on a missions trip. The girls on the trip led a Vacation bible School 3 afternoons.... one girl was tri-lingual - English, spanish, and Pokom, the language of the native Guatemalans of the area. She was amazing, probably the most helpful person on the entire trip. It really is amazing to see kids like that...
