Tabitha House

We spent the day at Tabitha House. The orphanage in the "dump" near Guatemala city. We had VBS with about 75 kids that we worked with. They were a blessing. We also had church with about 50 adults that lived in the dump. Angela and Russ shared their testimonies and Dan preached. We also shared in the Lord's supper together. They had never done that being a new fellowship and so it was a very special time. We also went to the dump. Word's cannot express the oppression that human beings have to endure in that squatters village. It is absolutely unthinkable.

I thought I would update you on how everyone feels as of Mon night. Jon wanted us to use percentages so 100% means you're great, 10% means you're almost dead. So.......... Marcie 50%, Angela 75%, Russ 35% (he's up and down), Steve 75%, Dan 98%, Page 92%, Audrey 60%, Abby 98%, Jonathan 92.5%, and I am currently at 98. Will try to post pics from Tabitha House, the orphanage tomorrow.

Monday

Believe it or not you can live without Internet or phone service. We survived 4 days! We are in GT city now and everyone is resting. We are letting 4 of us recover from some stomach problems. All that traveling and eating at odd schedules or not at all takes its toll eventually. We only have 1 more day of ministry and it is tomrw at Tabitha house. So please be in prayer that we will all be ready to go tomrw morning. We will try to blog more this evening.
