NO HAY CLAVO!

My confession is that the title is actually a Guatemalan slang term meaning that there is no problem.  This is used mainly with the youth and is not rude or bad, but usually can be said among friends.  My admission is when I say this, I feel like I am hanging out with the youth group again.  Seeing the fellow Guatemalan missionaries giggle when I say it, or they do, brings me a bit of joy.


                                                          It literally translate as: There is no nail.



     We find ourselves down to three weeks before we  jump on an airplane and head for cooler weather.  So, the question begs to be asked, “What are we doing with our time?”

let me introduce you to the next group of WORLD CHANGERS!!!!!
    Well, I am glad that you have asked.   We find ourselves getting things ready for the construction team to come down here on Sunday and help expand our onsite clinic and build some much needed office space.  We also have an Open Doors Children’s Home team that will be coming and spending time with the kiddos (we are NOW up to 13 babies!!!!!! Plus 3 other toddlers).  Shortly after these teams leave, we have most of the board members for Paradise Bound coming for a Spiritual Retreat and Vision Casting. 

    We are now done with our 30 days of Spanish classes, but a small forest of notes to keep going over.  The kids are still plugging away at school and enjoying it. 

    We are busy gathering info to bring to the states, lining up our speaking engagements, planning for a big event in Sioux Center in April, and trying our best to continue building the relationships among the other Guatemalan missionaries here. 

    We appreciate the prayers and thoughts that come down south.  Each day we try our best to soak in this beauty.  The people, the mountains, the volcanoes, the earthquakes, the paradise, and this over all “land of eternal Spring”.  This journey, this followed the Lord to another Country has been, is, and will be a alteration to our lives.  We pray that the alteration is one that will only bring us closer to His heart and that our kids will learn a language of dependence on Him.


"God's Patch Work Quilt"......how would you like to farm that!
                      Dios te bendiga y con mucho amor yo digo adios.

Buenas noches amigos.
