Pastor's Blog

Actually writing this entry on Friday night, 2/2.  The team had a good day.  Somehow the teams I lead always get sent at least ninety minutes way and this year is no exception.  Cannot complain but it certainly takes away from time that could be spent building.  Oh well, it is what it is.

Dean Kapenga is in charge of the building portion of this team.  I am just doing what he tells me which is always going to be concrete duty.  Since I am not in charge, I do not have a clear picture on what we got done but I think I know.  Three houses were completed minus hanging the doors and windows.  Two more are ready for the concrete.  Two more ready for the metal.  The houses are very spread out so you do not simply walk from one house to the other.  Makes it even tougher.

The team also did a food distribution.  I did not get a report on that but I am little concerned as it was led by Carla Mast – yikes!

Tomorrow marks the dividing of the team as Dr. John Nicely will lead the medical folks to do a clinic while Dean continues to lead the building team.

There was a protest in El Tejar today.  It had, and has, the potential to impact us in far greater way than Fuego did.  (Did I mention that Fuego had no impact on the Chimaltenango area?).  They are blocking traffic on CA-1 which is the main highway.

Pastor Terry Rainey did an awesome job of teaching us this morning.  Ditto for Carla Mast on the musical worship.

Thanks for checking on this team.  Keep praying.
