5:30 A.M. Lori races around knocking on doors. Let's go! Vamonos! We want to see the sunrise. Group hiked the cobblestone streets of Antigua up to the top of Cerro de la Cruz. From this mountaintop we could see the city of Antigua. At the top we met some new friends, including a 5-month old boy named Ezra. Mary had selected a reading from the book of Ezra 3 for our devotion today, so again we saw God's hand at work. Have any of you ever met someone named Ezra?!? More than a coincidence, we think. In her devotion, Mary shared her appreciation for the foundation of her Christian faith. It is this foundation that gives all of us the strength to continue this mission. This same foundation gave us the patience to endure the heavy traffic through Guatemala City and the long journey to Rio Hondo. Our driver, Gelver, is a miracle worker. He can get this bus through tight squeezes, tight curves and seems to know a lot of other motorists, honking his way across Guatemala. We'll see if we can post a picture of him for you.

We continue to keep the group in pray as we race home each evening looking for any updates. Your trip seems to be everything you had hoped for and more.
ReplyDeleteEveryday in school I pray for daddy and his group of people. I miss you, daddy. Mugsy is taking your spot in the bed. I hope God is with all of you. Love, Calli
