Hola Everyone, I hope you are all having a wonderful new year. I want to give you a brief note about my last trip to Guatemala and what is projected for 2010.
Things are going very well for us in general. Our doctor is now giving Bible studies to children in one of the villages we serve. I do believe that the biggest impact of what we are doing, will be with this up and coming generation. Raise them up in the ways of the Lord.
One of our helpers, Paco, (who happens to be the husband of Mimi, our front desk coordinator *see above photo), has been leading a "scout" meeting. He incorporates bible studies and fun ways of learning about God. He is so good at sharing the Gospel that we have decided we may loose him to this ministry instead of fixing up our clinic building. That would be a sacrifice worth making.
Part of the long, anticipated, road from the highway to the clinic has been paved. This has been a huge blessing for us and the villagers. It's so much quicker and easier on the bottom (if you know what I mean :) to travel. However, a dangerous problem has developed. It is now faster and safer for robbers to ride in on a motorcycle, rob the little stores, and get out quick. So, please pray that this will not continue and that no one will be physically hurt.
So many of the people in Guatemala inspire me to work harder, be more, trust God, live life daily, as I see them working and living fullfilling lives. They accomplish this with far less than we are privilaged to have here in the U.S./Canada. Watching them gives me the strength to live by Faith as an action and not a concept.
Now, for 2010, as it stands right now, I am looking forward to moving from the U.S. to Guatemala in July. I am extremely excited about this! I will be making another trip down for 3 weeks on Jan. 25th and will probably make one other short trip between then and July. Please pray for me that things will go smoothly and God will provide the means and way for this to happen.
I pray that each of you will have a wonderful and blessed new year.
All God's blessings,
Terri
