When the  center started none of the kids would even make eye-contact with you, much less  play with you. The other way I realized how much God can do was that God is  helping Sarita keep all of the kids at the school and center alive through  Sarita, the teachers, and the cooks. My other favorite part of spring break was  getting to do Vacation Bible School at all of the feeding centers and that was  one of the best parts of spring break because I love to see kids have fun. We  did a Bible point and when someone said the point all of the kids had to yell  &#8220;VIVA!&#8221; It was just really cool to see them smiling and having fun learning  about God and Jesus! I hope you had a great spring  break!<\/font><\/em><em><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\">Sincerely,<br \/>\nEmilee Long<\/font><\/em><\/div>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Download the High resolution video to project on a screen during worship or at a meeting.<span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial\" \/><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial\"><br \/>\n<\/span><a title=\"Medium Resolution\" href=\"http:\/\/momissioncast.com\/videos\/ep115_guatemala_med.wmv\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial\">Medium Resolution Video<\/span><\/strong><\/a><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial\"> (<\/span><\/strong>For DSL or Cable)<span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial\"><strong><br \/>\n<a title=\"High\" href=\"http:\/\/momissioncast.com\/videos\/ep115_guatemala_high.wmv\">High Resolution Video<\/a> (For DSL or Cable and especially for downloading to project on a screen)<br \/>\n<a title=\"Higher\" href=\"http:\/\/momissioncast.com\/videos\/ep115_guatemala_higher.wmv\">Higher Resolution Video<\/a> (Better quality viewing then high resolution)<br \/>\n<a title=\"Quicktime\" href=\"http:\/\/momissioncast.com\/videos\/ep115_guatemala_quick_high.mov\">Quicktime Video<\/a><\/strong> (for Mac users)<br \/>\n<a title=\"YouTube\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DCKGdpKiH7E\"><strong>Watch on YouTube<\/strong><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial\"><a title=\"YouTube\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vFwR4N-gHdw\"><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"MissionCast Index\" href=\"http:\/\/www.umocm.com\/missioncasts_index.htm\">Index of all MissionCasts<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Stay Connected\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moumethodist.org\/stay_connected.asp\"><strong>Weekly MissionCast Announcement<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n<font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"Times-Roman\" size=\"4\"><font face=\"MinionPro-Regular\" size=\"3\"><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"><font face=\"Arial\"><font size=\"2\"><font size=\"2\"><font face=\"Arial\"><strong>Early every Monday morning we send an announcement about the content of the weekly MissionCast and information about future MissionCasts.
