We are here!
After a long day of traveling, the SchrockTribe is back in
Guatemala. We want to thank all family
and friends for the 8 weeks back in Iowa.
It was truly a good time of reconnecting, sharing about the Lord’s
goodness, eating some foods that we craved (can you say STEAK and anything
dairy!) and even gaining a time of refreshment.
We will be having a very busy next 12 weeks here in Guate. We will be coming back to Iowa in April to help out with the Tim Hawkins concert on April 9 at Dordt College. This will serve as a fundraiser for the ministry. MORE info will be coming. If you live in the NW Iowa region, you will be hearing more and more about Tim Hawkins. Who is he you might ask? Simply go to youtube.com and type in Tim Hawkins. Watch and enjoy. A Christian Comedian that will bring a great night of laughter, music, and memories. You will not want to miss out. Tickets right now can be purchased by following the link on the website (paradisebound.org).
The first team comes tomorrow (Friday).
Then we have two weeks of much needed construction on and of
projects at the base.
~four teams come and build in San Ramon
~one team come and build a CHURCH! (building
only as the Church is very much THERE already!!!!!!!
~We will have…..?
We know what the schedule is supposed to look like, but we
know that the days and events are in the hands of God. So with that, we go forward awaiting the
Goodness of the Lord in the Land of the Living and Loving Him....expecting nothing less than an adventure with GOD!
May you be blessed this year, and may those blessings be
something you least expect!
We will do our best to keep in better contact via the blog
with you, our friends, our family, our prayer warriors, and you our brothers
and sisters in Christ.
Many blessings to you today.
Oh, and it is a cool 70 degrees here today with a nice breeze blowing.
Hasta Pronto,
Justin

Good morning, how are you?
My name is Emilio, I am a Spanish boy and I live in a town near to Madrid. I am a very interested person in knowing things so different as the culture, the way of life of the inhabitants of our planet, the fauna, the flora, and the landscapes of all the countries of the world etc. in summary, I am a person that enjoys traveling, learning and respecting people's diversity from all over the world.
I would love to travel and meet in person all the aspects above mentioned, but unfortunately as this is very expensive and my purchasing power is quite small, so I devised a way to travel with the imagination in every corner of our planet. A few years ago I started a collection of used stamps because through them, you can see pictures about fauna, flora, monuments, landscapes etc. from all the countries. As every day is more and more difficult to get stamps, some years ago I started a new collection in order to get traditional letters addressed to me in which my goal was to get at least 1 letter from each country in the world. This modest goal is feasible to reach in the most part of countries, but unfortunately, it is impossible to achieve in other various territories for several reasons, either because they are very small countries with very few population, either because they are countries at war, either because they are countries with extreme poverty or because for whatever reason the postal system is not functioning properly.
For all this, I would ask you one small favor:
Would you be so kind as to send me a letter by traditional mail from Guatemala? I understand perfectly that you think that your blog is not the appropriate place to ask this, and even, is very probably that you ignore my letter, but I would call your attention to the difficulty involved in getting a letter from that country, and also I don’t know anyone neither where to write in Guatemala in order to increase my collection. a letter for me is like a little souvenir, like if I have had visited that territory with my imagination and at same time, the arrival of the letters from a country is a sign of peace and normality and an original way to promote a country in the world. My postal address is the following one:
Emilio Fernandez Esteban
Avenida Juan de la Cierva, 44
28902 Getafe (Madrid)
Spain
If you wish, you can visit my blog www.cartasenmibuzon.blogspot.com where you can see the pictures of all the letters that I have received from whole World.
Finally, I would like to thank the attention given to this letter, and whether you can help me or not, I send my best wishes for peace, health and happiness for you, your family and all your dear beings.
Yours Sincerely
Emilio Fernandez
