Pastor's Blog

You do not know this about me but I am not a computer guru.  Cannot get the aglimpseofgrace website to allow me to post a blog entry.  So, I am doing one here in case anyone is interested in the happenings this trip.

Our actual first day of being in Guatemala started out typical but then went in a totally different direction.  Devotion was at 7:00AM which was early for our late night arrivals.  Lana Lollar, Darin Price and Pastor BJ Parson did an excellent job of leading our musical worship.  Juan Marcos Ruiz provided a huge assist by running the sound.  Such a nice guy.  We spent some time in the Word and then headed out.

The entire team plus went down the hill about five minutes away and hosted the students and faculty from the My Special Treasure School for a field day.  There were one hundred and forty two of them.  They were given breakfast and lunch.  I think everyone had a good day.

Seven of our guys went in the latter part of the afternoon and started on the house building.  Two of them were framed up and are basically ready for the tin.

After the field day, Deidra and others took those who sponsor a child in the feeding center to visit their child’s family in their home.  That was a neat experience.

Tonight was spent around the table enjoying a good meal and fellowship.

Tomorrow we feed folks displaced by the volcano, do the feeding center and build houses.

Pray for this team.  Thanks for checking on them.

Blessings!
