Going Home

Yesterday, as we flew into Guatemala, the plane broke through the clouds and we could finally see the city.  There was a man behind me bringing his son to Guatemala for the first time.  When the city came into view, he said,"Look its Guatemala!"  Then, his eyes filled with tears and his voice broke.  "My home", he said with a choked voice.  Even though he has lived many years in New York, Guatemala was his home.  This is where his heart is...
I think that will be what it is like when we see heaven.  We will say with tears in our eyes and a choked voice, "My home."  We won't be thinking about what we left behind, or wishing we were still there.  Instead, with joyful tears and overwhelmed voices, we will be home...standing face to face with our savior.   This life will be a distant memory and all that will matter will be the One who made us and loved us.  What a day that will be !

Dorie's Promise

Since today was the day that mission teams were coming and going from Dorie's Promise, the schedule is very lax.  We had the ability to do whatever we wanted with the children this afternoon and early evening. 

As you can see, we found the Casa 5, the babies' house.  There are children in this house between the ages of 3 weeks to 2 years old. 

This afternoon the children had fun with a pinata.  Even the younger children took turns and they all knew what to do when the candy began to fall.

Hola!

We have successfully arrived in Guatemala.  We are settling in our house and soon will be able to spend time with the children.  They are waking from their naps.  After successfully configuring the wi-fi, the pages are now showing in Spanish!  The problem is that I don't know Spanish.

Until later...

Welcome

As members of our church embark on various missions projects--locally or otherwise--we would like to provide a way for everyone to stay connected. 

Pray for the safety of those whose calling leads them away from home and success for those who find the mission field in our own community.
