Thank you for partnering with us by praying for us. We felt Lord's hand of protection and saw definite answers to prayer. You will hear more Sunday night during the power point presentation and testimony time.

We arrived at Lake Hills at approx. 7:30 pm tonight (Tuesday). I think I can speak for everyone when I say that we had/have mixed feelings about coming home. Of course, we are extremely thankful to be back with our loved ones that we have missed so much. And we are happy to be back on US soil...

During the course of this past week, we all really got to know the other members of the team; we became a family. We laughed, cried, prayed, shared emotions, played games, discussed our various medical problems openly, and did all the things a normal family does. In short, we were united in purpose and spirit. It was difficult to have this experience end.

DFG - Don't Forget Guatemala

There will be a Guatemala Team Mission service this Sunday night at Lake Hills Baptist Church. We are looking forward to seeing you there.

See you all soon...

Today we (all - Cindy and Debbie felt well enough to travel a little) went to Antigua for some site-seeing and shopping. We met some of the Victor, Fredy, and Walter (some of the local pastors) and the Lotts at one of the ancient ruins. Originally Antigua was the capital of Guatemala until it was destroyed by an earthquake - a second time, and it was then moved to Guatemala City.
The old world Spanish architecture and market atmosphere make it one of the premier tourist spots in Guatemala...

We ate McDonalds for supper - just to prime our stomachs for American food. Our flight leaves at 7:15 am, so the bugle/alarm will sound early in the morning.

Beverly Pyle is our team photographer. She has been doing a fantastic job...

Just a quick update - we just arrived back after visiting the small mountain church. These people can sing. They really put us to shame... The pastor, Walter and his wife invited us in for a after church meal (see pictures). The church continually faces persecutation from the catholic priest/church in town.

Cindy and Debbie seem to be feeling a little better. We will know for sure tomorrow morning.

Several members of the team became ill last night - Cindy, Debbie, and Sarah. Sarah was able to make it to church today while Debbie and Cindy stayed "home".

Cindy is running a fever, among other things, and they both are still in bed... Please pray for them.

We attended church at Mt. Gerizim (inner city church) this morning. We had an exciting time in children's church. After Linda's story and invitation, six children around the ages of 8 - 11 were saved; thank you for praying...

This evening we will be attending a church about a hour away from here in San Antonio (songs, testimonies, offertory, etc...) This is a smaller mountain town church with a sort of western flavor to it. Even the part of Guatemala where the church is located is more arid/dry - similar to parts of our west. Some of the locals still use horses for transportation.
