On Location - Day One

Hello Friends, Family, & Prayer Warriors!

We arrived safely today.  We got through Customs with no issues.  We met our gracious hosts (Hector and Dietrich), loaded the two SUVs, and left the airport.  The drive to the mission compound was longer than usual as traffic was bad for a Saturday.  People were trying to get to their World Cup viewing venue.

We arrived at the house.  Lunch was waiting for us.  How wonderful as we were hungry and someone was "hangry".  ;-)  New term for the trip.  Lunch was from McDonald's.   We had quarter pounders with cheese and fried chicken.  The chicken was good!  Everyone was happy with lunch.

After lunch, we got to catch up with Hermann.  Some people watched the game.  Some explored the grounds.  Some unpacked.  Some repacked supplies.  Three went grocery shopping.   We knocked it out.  Divide and conquer.

Brenda came and cooked a wonderful dinner for us.  It was excellent!  Alberto was able to spend time and fellowship with us before going to pick up the 2nd team.  Fellowship with the Guatemala Team was great.  We saw some old friends and started making new ones.

After dinner we cleaned up the dishes and had our debriefing.   We said our 6 prayers.  The second team started to arrive.

The team is dismissed and resting.  We look forward to tomorrow and what God has in store for us.  Everyone feels blessed.

Thank You and Good Night!
