We made it!

Hola de Guatemala! We arrived at Dulles this morning. Two flights and six hours later we touched down in Guatemala City! Most of the trip went smoothly. However when we went to claim our luggage, Joe's bag was missing. We left information but still haven't heard anything about it. Please pray this gets returned to him. Dennis, his wife Chochy, and their family met us at the airport along with Rachel Miller. Already, they have shown us a grand time. The highlight was celebrating Nikki's birthday with firecrackers and "an impossible cake" - half flan, half pastel. She was very surprised but very pleased. After dinner, Dennis invited us all out to watch his team play  football. They were excellent players and won easily! Tomorrow, we leave for El Faro at 9am sharp. We are all well and blessed to have such a gracious and welcoming host family. Please pray as we set out tomorrow as we have a long six hour drive on some small dirt roads!

Que Dios los bendiga

  1. We are grateful for your safe arrival, (and for Walmart), and pray your first day of travel within the country was safe and beautiful. Speaking of beautiful, "How lovely on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news.."(Isa 52:7)...May the Lord use each and every one of you mightily for His glory! We love you! Matt V
