Day 2

Well, day two was a little easier. It only lasted 15 hours. Just kidding! Everyday has been wonderful and a blessing. From the time we wake up to the time we go to bed. God has moved in all the sessions and these pastors are so grateful for us being here.

I got some wrong information about the numbers. We did not have anywhere close to 400 here on Wednesday. There was a additional group that came in just for Wednesday, but it was only about 15. Before we set out on Tuesday we all agreed that God would have who He wanted to have here and we would not worry about the numbers.

Day two followed the same format as day one. Everyone had breakout sessions or preached during our main session. One blessing that day 2 held was a trip to visit an injured missionary. He is a Guatemalan man who worked with a mission group from back home. He was robbed and attempted to run away. While running, the robbers shot him in the back leaving him confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. He is only 27 and has two children- one boy and one girl. His wife sells Bible covers and bags. So, instead of buying souvenirs from a shop we are all going to buy our stuff from her to give them financial support.

One of the best parts of this trip is the laughter. I am reminded of
Proverbs that reads, "A merry heart is like a medicine." These guys are a hoot and everyone has a great attitude, especially Mark Mast, a missionary from Canada. He has been locked in a bathroom and the object of countless practical jokes. But He has had a wonderful attitude about the whole thing and is a Godly man.

Yesterday at lunch I put some "green sauce" on my meal and that stuff lit me up! It was the hottest sauce I have ever had. I imagine is was hotter than "Wrath of God". We had a great time at supper last night. Paul and Christy Lethem, the missionaries here, made a roast and it was wonderful. It was capped off with warm blackberry cobbler and vanilla ice cream. (Man, this mission work is tough). God Bless
