It's Here!


Finally, after much anticipation and lots of expectation...the truck and grain bins are here!

David spent 17 hours driving the semi here from the border. Foggy roads and a loaded truck made for a slow drive, but he made it in about 10:30 this morning. As he was driving through San Andres, about over 30 people were lined up outside of the orphanage where we distribute the 100 lb bags of corn every Sunday. Each person represents a family, and the list of people receiving help is growing. Sebastian says that the word is spreading about the project, and so we know we need greater levels of discernment to help those families who truly need assistance, and to encourage those who have the ability to provide for their own families.

As David drove through San Andres in the semi, Sebastian was driving in his small pickup looking for anyone who still had corn for sale. The corn at the orphanage had run out, and there was virtually none to be found in the rest of town. More than ever we are excited to have the truck and grain bins that we can use to maintain a larger supply of corn. It all still has to be put together, but we're one step closer! Thanks for your prayers and support.

Just as an update on Martin, he was still feeling bad when he arrived in Guatemala, but will be seeing Dr. Heidi Bell tomorrow.
