“So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.” Colossians 3:12-15 (NASB)

This entry is being written on Sunday night as I will not have access to the internet early in the morning.  Al says they have checked everything and the problem is not with the internet but is inside our place.  That helped me zero!

Since I am writing on Sunday night I do not have any updates on the folks for whom we have been praying.  Hopefully I can update Tuesday morning.

Lisa did tell me that Bro. Abel did an excellent job of sharing in both services yesterday.  That is good news to me!

My Uncle Herschel’s celebration of life service takes place Monday afternoon, 2/3.  My brother, Eddie, will help with the service.  I will be thinking of the family as I go through the day.

As I am writing this entry, there are about seventeen or eighteen team members playing some card game.  They have had a good day of ministry and fellowship.  Men’s breakfast, church service, church lunch, food distribution, supper in the local mall.

Monday will be more medical and more building.  The team will spend a few hours in Antigua in the late afternoon and then supper at Las Antorchas.

I pray that you will have a great Monday with Jesus.

Sorry for no entry yesterday but I did not have internet access.  I still do not have it so I am doing this from a different location.  Yes, I have contacted Al!

Linda Green remains in the hospital.  She will have some type procedure tomorrow.  Keep praying.

Carol Lucky was discharged from the hospital as were Rileigh Glass and Frank Glass.  Keep praying for these folks.

Keith Barrett received an injection on Friday and is doing well.  Pray for Keith.

Lisa tells me that the anniversary reception for Terrell & Marie was absolutely beautiful.  Nice!

Regular schedule on our campus today – morning and evening.

The team in Guatemala has had a full first two days.  Everyone built on Friday and six houses were up with two receiving concrete.  Yesterday, the medical team went near Tecpan and a much smaller building team put up six more houses with seven more receiving concrete.  Seven houses are now completely finished.

The team hosted the church staff and families for supper on Friday night.  Each staff member and their family members shared.  It was a good night.

Last night, the team hosted the entire school staff for supper and that was a very special evening.  Some nice connections were made.

Pastor Bob is doing a great job in sharing the Word with us as is Rex Looney in leading the musical worship each morning.

This team has been excellent in their attitudes and work ethic.  It has been my observation that Gracie Wong can work circles around her husband, Gene Wong.  Junior Fuglseth cannot stop smiling – just saying!

Today, there is a men’s breakfast at the church with Dr. Rich Strabbing sharing the Word.  Pastor Bob Harvey will preach in the church service.  There will then be a church wide lunch following the service.  The team will do a food distribution this afternoon.  The team will then be given the chance to kind of catch their breath tonight before a full three final days.

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