News from Guatemala!

Here is a message from Renee:

We all made the trip to Boston in good form. Well, some of us were in better form than others of us. The tall ones among us were pretty cramped in the bus seats. We arrived and began the boarding process. Once again, American Airlines made our transit through Logan frightening. They got the Arizona people through just fine and then the Guatemala Team was put into a separate line just for us. It seemed like a brilliant idea...and it was, but it was so slow!!!! Our last team got through the luggage check in with only 10 minutes before the boarding was to begin. Needless to say the airlines did not say, "Oh, please, come to the front of the security line so that you will not miss your flight." All teams were boarded except the one team caught in the security line. The minutes ticked away, Renee paced back and forth in front of the desk at the gate pleading for more time. The team members on the plane were praying for the last team to walk through the door. The count down was on. They had pushed the closing of the door time back..and then back again. Finally our team made it and the rest of the Guatemala travelers clapped as the tardy team entered the plane. The time in Miami was uneventful and our full flight was another opportunity to try to grab a bit of sleep. At the Guatemala City airport, we waited around a lot because we had 6 missing pieces of luggage. The people at the desk were most helpful...and finally we left the airport convinced that all would be well. In fact, this evening 5 of the 6 bags arrived with the 6th promised in the morning. Some of the team took advantage of a bit of sightseeing while others rested until dinner. The food is excellent. The weather great and the welcome most hospitable. The pictures are just sending the message of our day...Hurry up and wait! :) God took care of us throughout. Please pray for our home recipients and for the upcoming Children's Bible School....We are praying for you...

In faith,

Renee
