Buenas Dias! The team arrived last night to our host home about 9:00 pm local time. The travel from DFS to Guatemala was smooth and uneventful. Thank you for your prayers for our safety throughout the trip.
This morning we were awaken by the sounds of fireworks. Is it the fourth of July already??? The Guatemalans celebrate a person's birthday by lighting fireworks on the doorstep of the birthday amiga or amigo. Lots of birthdays in this neighborhood it seems. Could the same rooster be with us this week? The sounds of Guatemala.......
After a wonderful meal prepared by our host, Mrs. Georgette, we discussed today's schedule. About 10am we will depart for Santa Maria de Jesus (a church we worked with last February) where we will be giving about 100 pairs of shoes for children. While at the church, we will enjoy lunch and reading Bible stories with the children from the village. After our visit at Santa Maria de Jesus we will travel to Cinma with Bob to purchase 3 tons of food for Rio Bravo Feeding Center. Cinma Market is an enormous open air market that Bob uses each month. We will be traveling 2 hours tomorrow to deliver the food to Rio Bravo, a very poor farming community. The food provided each month helps feed over 300 children breakfast each day.
How can you pray for us today?
We covet your prayers as we encourage Pastor Grabiel and his minsitry at Santa Maria de Jesus this afternoon. Pray that we will be able to see the people of de Jesus as God sees them. Also, pray that God will be glorified as we travel and engage the Guatemalans throughout the day.
Thank you church family. We will post more photos and provide a report about today's travels.
To God be the Glory!
