Today was another greatful day! Prasie and Worship was amazing and devotions by Pastor Mark Worth. Everyone went there ways continuing what they where doing the day before. Trying to complete projects and start new ones. God has really show us how amazing he creations are. Today the team on the Widows house made great progress only have two rows in the back of laying brick and one row of brick in the front.
The medical team, dentist, and eye doctor (and incredible assistant Chad!) went into Mama Carmen’s orphanage in Guatemala City. What an adventure! She is an older lady and her husband who has about 90 kids in a 4 bedroom house. Besides taking care of them she feeds people on the street and the kids that live in the city dump that have been abandoned. This is Mother Teresa number 2! I checked some of their eyes but didn’t have as much time as I would have liked. Came back to see what great progress the team made back at the orphanage!! What a great day!
Then great dinner and devotions again tonight. Wow……we are all changing and growing so much. We always have the plan of changing the Guatemalans but leave more changed ourselves! Thanks to Michelle who has helped load all of the pictures onto the blog!! She’s great!
Please pray for Steve M. who hurt his knee today at the widow’s house. Otherwise we are all doing great! Everyone has mantained just an incredible attitude- what a joy serving together with great attitudes and hearts!
Good Morning (Thursday 2/19/09) from a cold 2 degree South Dakota this morning – possible looking at 1″ of snow in forcast for tomorrow then a possible warm front on it’s way to us – SO soak up all the warmth there in Guatemalia you can!!! Even though it is cold here your pictures & journal of God’s work warms the coldest temperatures. PRAISE THE LORD that even in cold and gloomy situations He promises warmth and brightness for those who believe & follow His precious Son. He shows that over and over again. What an absolutely AWESOME God!! Keep on shining there in Guatemalia and soaking up Christ’s love. Anxiously await to hear today’s adventures – beautiful job done on the Blog – thanks to all take the time for each of us back home. Have a great day.
Love & miss you all, Barbara
Thank You once again for sharing your day with all of us back here in South Dakota! I must admit with this cold streak going thru again, I am more than a bit jealous of your temps there!!! But even more, I wish I was there with you-what an amazing and humbling experience! I feel blessed just to share in your days here, I can’t imagine how you all must feel actually living this! Praise God for His mighty hand, His faithfulness, His love and kindness-to you all as well as what you share of Him with His children in Guatemala! Thank you for taking the time at the end of a tiring day to keep us connected to you. What a great blessing you and your updates are to all of us here too!
We love you and can’t wait to have you back home again, tammy
WOW!!!! The pictures & updates just keep getting better & better! What an incredible way to stay prayerfully connected with each one of you!
I’ve been asked to do ‘Chapel’ at the Madison Christian school tomorrow and my topic of choice is of course…Casa Angelina! I’ll be anxious to share my past experiences with the students, but just as excited to share about your dedicated team that is serving down there as we speak!!! I will be requesting that the class says a prayer for your team.
I’m so proud of you all!!!!
God Bless! Shannon
