Whew!

Whew!  What a time we have had.  The last few weeks have been busy with a high school team, two construction teams at the base, hosting my folks, and getting things ready for four weeks in San Ramon with teams, AND a team to come and build a church in Chaquanom.  We have seen some wonderful things the past few days.

I (Justin) have been able to get back to the coast twice to connect with pastors, visit sick, lay hands on for healing, attend worship services, and plan and strategize for growth in the new churches……oh, and see the Ocean too!

Vicki has been getting the clinic at the base up and running and more organized.  She re-did all of the clinic boxes that are used for the mobile clinics, re-wrote the patient program slips, and just over-all brought some more functionality to the clinic along side Yohana and Lesli. 

The kids have been plugging away at school.  Plus the warm weather has been wonderful to spend time outside.

We are also very grateful for the two teams that came down to work on the base, as the list of projects started and projects needed to be worked on is three pages long!  It is a good reminder that as we go out, we need to also spend time maintaining the base camp so that teams can have a place to refresh and recap and to process.

We thank you for your continued prayers.  As we work and serve here in Guatemala, we also find our time partially in Iowa as well.  On April 9, PBM is bringing Tim Hawkins to Sioux Center, IA for a fundraiser.  Who is Tim Hawkins you might ask?  Simply go to youtube.com and check out his videos….you can thank me later.

Oh yeah, we also had snow yesterday in Guatemala.  NO JOKE.  The top of Acatenango (volcano) had snow on it for a few hours…..until the sun came up and melted it.

Many blessings to you today.

today is the day that the Lord has made....

the garage minus the roof.  The second story will be an apartment for future staff of PBM

our deck is a blessing....more space and even railing to hang laundry out to dry.  The next part will be a roof on the deck before the rainy season comes in May.
