Just when you think you got it all together......

The team has already had to endure a tremendous challenge and disappointment even before we leave.  Team member Paul has suffered a powerful seizure that has left him unable to go on the trip to Guatemala.  Words cannot express our profound disappointment because no one showed more enthusiasm about the trip than Paul.     However, we do not consider him as off the team but rather reassigned by God for the more difficult task of staying behind and holding his other team members before the Lord in prayer.  We are thankful that if this had to happen to Paul, it happened before we left because he would not have received adequate care in Guatemala.  As God would have it, Russ has joined the team at the last minute.  We are excited about Russ because he is an EMT and firefighter.  Makes me wonder though why God thinks we need an EMT and firefighter on the trip.  It probably has something to do with the fact that one of our team members is an 8 yr old boy : )

Here we are packing............
