SUNDAY, 5/30/10

Several people have asked about the eruption of the volcano in Guatemala wanting to know if it is one we can see from the mission house.  The answer is no.  However, it is the one that many members of the teams using the mission house have climbed previously.  A group from Faith Baptist of Bartlett, TN climbed it on 5/16.  Dana & Gina have climbed it before.  There are eight active volcanoes in Guatemala and it is the most active.

The ash from the eruption of Picaya has closed the airport in Guatemala City.  The volcano eruption is only part of the problem in Guatemala right now as they are getting hammered by Tropical Storm Agatha.  A team from Faith Baptist of Bartlett is presently there and all team members plus all of the folks who work with GRACE Ministries are fine.  I was reading this morning that some officials fear Agatha, which made landfall during the night and is now a tropical depression, will cause more damage than Hurricane Mitch (1998) or Hurricane Stan (2005).  They were calling for 10 to 30 inches of rain because of Agatha.  Pray for the people of Guatemala.

We give God the praise as Hien’s passport arrived on Friday with the visa included – hallelujah!  Actually, it was in the box on Thursday.  I commend Grand Bay’s postmaster, Miss Kathy Grimes, and the USPS for a job well done.  God is good!

As a general rule, I no longer do birthdays on this blog.  However, today is an exception as it is my wife’s birthday.  Happy birthday Lisa!  I won’t get into how old she is but will say she looks much younger!  I married way out of my league!

Bro. Benny has everything in place for the makings of a great day.  He worked diligently yesterday setting up the slides, cooking, et cetera.  I pray that many members of the Friendship will join us this morning for Sunday School & worship and then come this afternoon beginning at 5:00PM for fellowship.

I pray that you will have a great Sunday with Jesus!
