Thank you!

Hello! We are safe at home. We wanted to thank you for your faithful prayers for us while we were gone. God sustained our bodies and worked miracles in our lives as well as those we served. We will be sharing our experience with you this Sunday at Eternal. Please join us to see pictures and hear stories about God's faithfulness.

Building Houses

The first day we built two houses for one family with 16 children! Both teams were building within several yards of each other. We were able to spend a great deal of time with the children, playing soccer, frisbee, and "Simon Says." It was a wonderful way to start the week.

Market Shopping in Chichicastenango

These blankets are typical of what you see in the open-air market in Chichi. Yesterday was Sunday, so we went to the "gringo missionary" church and then spent the rest of the day touring the market. It was amazing. Today the work begins. We're finishing up breakfast now and getting ready to head out to our first job site. Pray for us as we minister to the families and orphans in the area.
We'll try to post more soon.

18 Suitcases Full

Thanks to the members of Eternal who donated shoes, clothing, candy & treats, toys and toothbrushes for the children and widows of Guatemala. We received enough items to fill 18 suitcases full! What an amazing experience this will be.

Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight"

the time has come

Well, we're flying out this Saturday! All 18 of us squeezed around a round table for lunch on Sunday and discussed some last minute details. Donations for the children and women have been pouring into the Eternal office this week. Thanks to everyone who has donated items! We each hope to take a suitcase full of donated items to leave.

We have been told we will have internet access at our compound, so hopefully we'll be able to update the blog while we're there. Please check back throughout next week and don't forget to pray for us!

I wanted to share a picture from our Sunday service. Jack, a former missionary of 7 yrs in Peru, was praying for us and will be speaking at church this Sunday when we're gone. You won't want to miss that!

Thanks to everyone who has made this trip possible. Glory to God!

Boots and Money Pouches

For those of you men going on the trip that still need some good work boots, K-Mart has a great selection of steel toed boots for good prices.

For women and men, REI in Pineville has the pouches that you can hang around your neck and wear under your shirt to carry your money, passport and other important items safely.
