TEAM E-MAIL--MAY 2, 2007

One of the fun things we always like to do is send a short team e-mail to let family members and friends know how things are going. This is an abbreviated version:

Pastor Jasinto tells us today that it is 40 degrees Centigrade, which is pretty HOT! But God is protecting us and keeping us safe in the sun. All is well, and everyone is feeling good considering the heat. The air conditioning and the pool at the hotel at night keep us going and refreshed. Stomachs are all doing well. Here's some news from everyone:
RICHARD--Will be going back to work Monday. Retirement is hard work!
PETE--Having a lot of fun. Thanking God for sleeping with air conditioning!
JANET--Worked with the kids yesterday--FUN! Moved dirt for 2 days and today we are moving rocks.
CHERYL--It is very hot, but we are doing much better with the heat. It was great to work with the children in the afternoon. We had a craft and asked how many wanted to do it and one girl raised her hand, as they didn't know we had enough for everyone! They were all overjoyed to work on them.
KEN--Today we start pouring the foundation for the school rooms.
DOLORES--We are having fun working together to build the school. Yesterday was especially exciting when in the afternoon we had a chance to have some time with the children -- like a Vacation Bible School.
BETTIE--Greetings from Guatemala - warm weather, hard work, and wonderful, friendly people. The children are priceless.
NANCY--Picture me working in long pants, gloves, and a hat in hot, humid weather. I'm not sure why I'm not passing out! The Guatemalan people are a joy, and the group is a joy too! Sometimes we are laughing so hard we are almost crying--which is a good thing! Working with the kids yesterday was really fun.

Please pray for our work and for our safe return!
