Praise the Lord! He is good and we now have internet access in the L.G. Camp, Jr. Mission House in Guatemala! It is a long story but suffice it to say that a thank you is in order to Missionary Mark Mast and a special thank you to Juan Marcos Ruiz from the CAM Seminary here in Chimaltenango. Juan Marcos and his brother installed the necessary equipment today to make this a reality. So, we now really have no legitimate reason to not keep you folks updated.
We arrived safely in three waves yesterday – the Mobile & Grand Rapids folks at 12:30PM, the Flint folks around 1:15PM, and theMast trio at 10:00PM. The first two groups enjoyed supper at one of the local Pollo Campero restaurants, exchanged some money, and spent time in fellowship with most folks calling it a day early after a long day of travel.
Today began with Bible study at 7:00AM. Kristen DeYoung did her usual wonderful job of leading us in worship through song with an assist from Dale Bosarge as he played the guitar. I brought a devotional thought from Mark 5:24 – 34 as we looked at our needs and the nearness of Jesus.
We then got ready and went to Rincon Grande to build houses. We divided into four work teams getting six houses completely i.e. concrete poured, et cetera, finished and a seventh one done with the exception of the concrete.
Tonight we enjoyed a meal which was prepared by Lorraine Brouwer, Jan Koeman, and Jan Kapenga. Folks are now on their computers, sleeping, playing cards, getting breakfast/supper food ready, and just hanging out.
Tomorrow will be Bible study at 7:30AM, church at 9:00AM, dinner in Antigua, some shopping, and a worship service tomorrow night. Thanks for your prayers and please keep praying as we serve the Lord in Guatemala during these days.
