GRACE ’12 – 11/13/12

Tuesday, November 13th, 2012

This entry is later than I had planned and for that I apologize.  Our day of building was not long but we are driving about one hour and twenty minutes to the village.  We had our usual morning with our praise time and devotion following breakfast.  We then met about the day’s activities and headed out.

Everyone exhibited really great attitudes all day.  The building sites were a little challenging but not the worst we have ever seen.  Eight houses were built with five of those being completely finished and the other three ready for the cement.  Good day!

Mark Mast has had his team busy tonight sorting out the various things they brought for ministry purposes.  I am not sure how they get all of those things here but they do it year after year.

The Crawley guys were working on a plumbing project – imagine that!  This was after we had gotten back to the mission house and it was already dark.

I guess the only problem we had today was when we lost Katie Tillman.  However, like a stray dog, she came back.  (She has really taken to the team calling her “Skeeter”!)  That plus Cindy Duimstra copping an attitude in the kitchen!  LOL!

Thanks for praying for us.  We will, Lord willing, post again tomorrow night!

GRACE ’12 11/13/12

Greetings from Guatemala.  Not a lot to report on today except that with the arrival of Betsy Watson late last night everyone is present and accounted for.  We thank God for His watch care in our travels.

The late afternoon and evening were spent settling in, going to supper, and having a meeting to discuss the various things related to this team.

Thank you for your prayers.  We will begin our first day of ministry at 7:00AM today.  Keep praying.  A full entry will be posted tonight if the internet is up and running (it was down for a bit last night thus no post).
