Good second day of ministry for this team.  This entry is being written shortly before 7:00PM and the dental team has not returned to the mission house.  Perhaps they are still eating but it is “possible” that Dr. Derek has them in an ice cream parlor somewhere in Antigua!  Talked to Dr. John and he said the medical team had a good day arriving back at the mission house around 5:30PM.

The building team had another good day.  I am actually having to hold these guys back as they have now gotten thirteen houses up – ten with concrete and three ready for concrete.  Probably could have built two more today but I made them leave.

Tim Knighten did some important electrical work around the property.  He has been a real blessing.

I think Rhonda Clark left this morning but not sure.

Our day began with great worship in song led by Carla Mast.  Cristy Leytham then shared about her cancer and the peace God has given her.  Dr. Michael then brought a really strong word on marriage from I Cor 13:4-7.

We are flipping our day tomorrow.  Going shopping early, eating, and then to an afternoon service in a traditional church about forty-five minutes from here.  Dr. Michael will be preaching.

Everyone is well.  Great team.  Thanks for checking on us and please pray for us.

I saw something last night that I have never seen before – lights on in the feeding center!  You talk about beautiful!  Granted they are not permanent but they are lights regardless!  Special thanks to Tim Knighten who took the lead and made this happen!  We are able to have the lights and refrigeration.  The center opens this Monday, 2/10!

Good day in Guatemala yesterday.  The medical team being led by Dr. John Nicely and the dental team being led by Dr. Derek Draft and Dr. John Gissal (actually, Laurie King is in charge of the whole thing but do not tell these doctors) had a good day of ministry with the dental being busier than the medical.  The team seemed content with the outcome of yesterday’s ministry.

On the construction side, our team of fourteen had a blessed day.  Four houses were finished with everything, including concrete, except hanging the doors and windows.  Three others were finished up to the point of being ready to receive the concrete.  We could possibly finish the construction side by Monday if there are no surprises.

Evangelist Michael Mason did a really nice job of sharing the Word with us yesterday morning.  It is such a blessing to have him with us this week.  Probably does a better job of preaching Junior Hill’s messages than Junior does himself!

Thanks for checking on us.  Pray for us.
