Houston...we do not have a problem

So back in 2010 when our family was in Guatemala for the summer I acquired a new name.  Well, truth be told it was not new name but a variation of what my name (Justin) sounded like with the Spanish accent.  The team members of that day picked up on the name and it stuck.  There are still people today that call me Houston.

Often times it is jokingly expressed as the infamous line: "Houston...we have a problem".

Yet as we have been back in the states for three weeks, the communication we are receiving is not a problem, but rather a story: A story of God's goodness and provision.

We find our little tribe sharing stories and pictures with anybody and everybody who cares.  We go to churches and share about PBM and the Guatemalans that we have been blessed to encounter.  We have been to schools and spoke at chapels and even swung by care facilities and shared stories.

What have we found with this time back in Iowa:
~We have been busy the last few weeks and are looking forward to a quiet December
~We have thoroughly enjoyed reflecting on what we witnessed God doing the past 21 weeks in Guatemala
~We have some kiddos that absolutely love telling stories of what they experienced in Guatemala


We are blessed.


So what we are up now?  Well...

We are in the states still sharing about stories of God's faithfulness and provisions and grace.  We have our tickets to return to the "land of Eternal Spring" January 7.  We do also have return tickets for March 31 back to Iowa.  We are excited that PBM is bringing Tim Hawkins to Sioux Center on April 9!!!!

We appreciate your prayers and look forward to connecting with you at some point while we are in Iowa....or California....or ..  wherever!
