Guatemala

So this morning at 4:10 am, Ted drove Anastasia to the airport. This will be her first out of the country mission's trip. She will be part of a team that is going to Agua Viva children's home. She was wide awake at 3:50am. We told her to try to sleep on the plane. They will be 2 hours behind us. The Lord must have a great work in store for the team. Andrew and Rebecca's grandma passed away this week. They drove to Johnson City, Tenn on Thursday morning for the service. Then, they drove back that afternoon to go on the trip. On Tuesday morning, David Stout was taken into Hospice care in Hillsborough. This meant that Linda, Ernie, and Nick would not be able to join the team. I told Anastasia that everyone would have to step up and take the place of those who couldn't make it. Our house is very quiet without her. We miss her but know that she will be a great blessing to the children of the home. Cathi called us tonight to let us know that the team arrived and they were getting ready to have dinner with the kids. Joe, who was traveling with the team, had changed his phone to international. Don said this would be the only call. It was a comfort to know they all arrived there safely. May God bless their time there and use everyone's talents for His glory.
