Good morning. I do not know if you have any updates on our
team. Thought I would do a little update. Half-way through our time here!
Half of us are in the vans on the way to Nathan's. We
have painted a beauty shop in Shalom. Painted yellow lines in the
garage of Shalom, chiseled cement with small hand tools. We have
worked at Liberty House to transform the property into a retreat for
the Shalom youth. We worked with 80 Guatemala kids to clean. Pick axe
moving piles of rocks dirt sand and moved lots of leaves. All up and
down a pretty steep hill! It overlooks paradise. We have cleaned
Rodney's plaza and it will get sealed (scraped gum for hours). The
other team spent last 2 days at Nathan & Claudia's. I am very excited
to go. They said it is beautiful. We stay in a beautiful home. It is 2000'
higher. Antigua has so much history and beautiful Bluildings. Joe took
pictures inside the hardware store. Beautiful carved columns and
shelves and wood interior. They worked like warriors laying the
foundation for the first building! Very emotional and rewarding. They
went thru 12 water bottles in 2 days! We have interacted with youth.
Handed out 50 laundry baskets of food. Went to a long church service.
Lots of worship with lots of heart to hearts and making new friends. Making
incredible life-long memories! I've done a little laughing too. The students
are not complaining at all. Everyone safe & a few folks with allergy
stuff. A great group. Xoxo. Fufi (Ruthie Brower)

So glad to hear from the team and happy all is going well. We are at peace to know our David is in excellent hands! We are praying for all to give a good day's work, to have good rest, for safety & health, and difinitely for relationships to form and grow. We know God is working in and through the Guatemalans AND in each team member's life. Love you all, Larry & Jana Annett
(Tell David we love him!)
2Chr6:14-20 He said: "O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth—you who keep your covenant of love with your servants who continue wholeheartedly in your way.You have kept your promise to your servant David my father; with your mouth you have promised and with your hand you have fulfilled it—as it is today."Now LORD, God of Israel, keep for your servant...the promises you made... Now, O LORD, God of Israel, let your word that you promised your servant David come true."But will God really dwell on earth with men? The heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain you. How much less this temple I have built!Yet give attention to your servant's prayer and his plea for mercy, O LORD my God. Hear the cry and the prayer that your servant is praying in your presence.May your eyes be open toward...this place of which you said you would put your Name there. May you hear the prayer your servant prays toward this place.
Ruth and group. This is a time just after the Israelites built the temple in honor of GOD...what you are doing is the same and I share all of our heartfelt outpouring of love to you for the gift you give to HIM....GOD bless
