Good morning friends and family. We are so thankful that you are following the blog while we are out of the country, and we will update you as often as possible on what is going on here.
First, we want to praise our Father for His goodness and mercies. His mercies are new every morning...isn't that amazing! He has given us all a good night's sleep, and we are refreshed and ready for His work! Second, He is always faithful to His promises. He promised that He would show Himself powerful and strong (more so that any tropical storm, volcano or flood), and He has done that!!! Praise the Father!!!
Please pray for our interpreters, Patty, Wendy and Angie. They were scheduled to leave Quetzaltenango at 5:00 this morning and make their way into the city. It is normally a 3 hour drive but could take much longer due to the bridges and roads being out. Please pray for their safety and for their strength.
For all parents of interns, your children are safe and sound here. They are all doing well. Tyler, along with Lonnie and Brittney, are leading music for VBS this afternoon. They spent quite a bit of time learning Spanish songs last night and serenading the seminary campus. Megan A. and Deanna are going to work with recreation as well...Deanna has been holding out her Spanish skills on us! Michael, Duckett (Meghan H.) and Kathleen will be working in the Tabitha House while the others are at VBS. We are so proud of all of them. It warms my heart to see them outside in the morning spending time with the Father before the day begins.
Speaking of my heart, it overflows right now with gratefulness for all the people on this trip. They are amazing, gracious and patient people. Once again, God ordained the right people for the right time for the right task. He is good! When we surrender our thoughts, ways, plan and will to His...surrender our own for His thoughts, ways, plans and will, He will be glorified! We give Him all the glory!
PS Maggie Coe is an amazing young lady, and I send out props to Bob and Ann. She is full of life and seeks to serve the Lord. I pray that my kiddos end up like her!
