Today was another great day. We have spent the day at Brandon and Jenny's house doing some minor and major repairs for them. The "honey do" list is no more! Our guys fixed everything from a coffee maker to a major leak in the roof. God put together a group of men that each had a skill that was used to help Brandon and Jenny. Mike has a great talent for fixing anything, Ryan knows all about roofing, Ron knows about trees and landscaping, and Duke and John are great with the power tools. The rest of us helped out in other ways; we hauled tree limbs to the trash area, took care of the kids, and manned the couch. (It's comfort level for naps needed to be rated.) Today felt like Thanksgiving Day with the extended family. Yes, we worked on various projects, but there was also a lot of sitting around and talking, some snacking on great homemade tortillas, and playing with the little kids. There's a lot to be said for fellowship.
The time at the orphanage went by very quickly. We already miss their smiling faces. They demonstrated love in the most honest, simple way. They accepted us for who we were, dirt and all, and we became instant family. It was all the more proof that God is omnipresent.
Tomorrow we head off to Antigua, and we will eventually end up in Guatemala City for the flight back home on Sunday. Thank you for your prayers, and also for reading our blog. I know I've said this before, but we truly appreciate your prayers and support. We can't wait to get back to our church family and share all that our Heavenly Father has done through us!
