The comment I have heard often today is, “I can’t believe that a week has already passed and it is time to go home.”  However, it is true as we have completed the ministry portion of another mission trip with a really strong final day. 

Mark Mast led our devotional time this morning.  We then divided into four teams with one team painting at the seminary while the other three built houses.  All of the painting at the seminary was completed and five houses (four in Chimaltenango and one in Itzapa) were completely finished too.  This has been an incredible group with an outstanding work ethic. 

Wayne DeYoung and Brian Koeman spent one final day at Panimaquin moving another mountain of dirt.  Bernard, Trish, & Sarah Cohen joined us for supper tonight and Bernard was so thankful for all that has been accomplished at the project. 

We will have one more devotional time tomorrow which will basically be a time of sharing about God’s blessings in our lives this week.  We will then head for the airport with the Alabama folks, four Michigan folks, and three Canada folks leaving on a flight at 1:30PM while the other Michiganders and one Canadien will leave at 2:30PM.  Pray for us as we travel especially for the Michigan folks as it appears a winter storm could affect their travels. 

Hopefully, I will be able to update from the airport in Guatemala tomorrow.  If not, I will update on Saturday to recap the week.  Thanks for your continued prayer support.  Blessings!
