We are here!!  Yesterday our team met a Cornerstone at 2:45AM to weigh luggage and pray before departing - the weather was a little sketchy, and we made it to the airport just as we were boarding!  Because of the time deiceing the plane, we got into Houston late and arrived just in time to board again!  God was with us and we made it safe and sound to Guatemala.  All of us were in need of a good cup of coffee and a meal, which was waiting for us when we arrived.

Kristen Forster was here to greet us - she has been here for a few weeks already and is serving as a missionary for 3 months.  It is so good to see her!  She is our honorary team member :)

Last evening we celebrated a birthday party with Casa Nuevo Esperanza - three little boys had birthdays and their wonderful sponsors sent money so that we were able to buy them a chicken dinner at Pollo Campero and cake and ice cream and pop.  So much energy in a house of boys ages 9-13!!

We debriefed as a team and went to bed early for much needed sleep!!

More to come!  Please pray with us for some team members who are experiencing illness.
More to come later today - thanks for all of your prayers for sage travel!!
