We followed Pastor Nelson and his family to Guatemala on Friday morning. We are at their home helping prepare for the Happy Feet mission group that flies in this afternoon. By helping prepare I mean going to PriceSmart and buying almost $500 worth of food for the trip then chopping onions, celery and other veggies to make a pot of soup that will feed 40. Later today we must shop for the fresh fruit, bread, cheese and other perishables. Nevertheless, this is the quiet before the storm of loading up 5 vans and driving to the mountains with 40 people. Monday we will spend our first day passing out new shoes and sharing the gospel with the children in the little town where we will be staying. The team is bringing 1000 pairs of shoes and we will try to give them all away, although Nelson says it is difficult to do more than 200 per day and we will only have 4 days.
Please pray for the team, the kids and those of us from the church in Guatemala who will be helping, translating, cooking, etc.
