Just a note to say that we are going to be in 4 Central America countries this month! We will make our way to Costa Rica for the first time early Saturday morning. We are flying in and will meet teams from our church in San Salvador, from Blue Springs, MO and Corinth, MS. We won't have the full inflatable setup as it's just two difficult to get them down there--it's a two-day drive across several borders.
The following Saturday the team from San Salvador will make it's way back, but we will fly from Costa Rica to Guatemala City and meet another team from our church in San Salvador, as well as a group from Bakersfield, CA and John & Kay Winchell from ALBC in Lee's Summit. (They come bearing gifts--well, things we ordered and had sent to them--so we will be especially glad to see them.) Everyone is excited about this trip because it's VBS time--schools finished the end of October so it's vacation time and that means VBS! We will go on regular campaigns in the evening and the week will end with a super fiesta and program by the VBS kids.
The trip back to San Salvador on November 20 just happens to be the way Stephen will be celebrating his birthday this year. We will ride back in the truck with Jeff and Paula. We will be home for one week and will try to find a way to celebrate our first Thanksgiving here. On Saturday, November 27 we will start the 12-hour drive to Managua, Nicaragua for the final mission trip of 2010. It will also be our first time in Nicaragua so this will be a month of many "firsts."
Please pray for: (1) good weather as rain makes everything more difficult, (2) safe travels and border crossings for all of the teams and (3) for hearts that are ready to hear and receive the good news.
