Here's the Line-up!

Last night, we had our final team meeting before heading to Guatemala.  
Here are some updates....
     For the two new children at Hope 4 Tomorrow...they not only needed beds, they need a whole room for the children as they have outgrown their space!  The plans for the new room are in progress and we may possibly help with the remaining construction if it in incomplete when we arrive.  Thanks to generous donations several thousand dollars have already been given for the new room!  
     We will build houses in the Las Conchas neighborhood each day.  One family for whom we are building a home is the Coc Cac Family.  Miguel, the father works in security services.  He makes around $240 per year.  (Yes, that is correct!)  Lucia, the mother, makes tortillas to sell.  They have two children: Selvin who is 8 years old and Michel who is 2 years old.  Please pray for this family as we build a home for them.  Their current home is made out of sheets of tin.
     In the afternoons, Crystal and I will have a Bible Study in Spanish for the women and their children.  The Bible Study topics will be the same for the women and the children so that they can have further discussion about it in their homes.  Crystal and I hope to give the women "goodie bags" at the end of the week.  They will each get a Bible and some practical things like toothbrushes and toothpaste, and we hope to put a nail polish or two in each bag for them as they LOVE NAIL POLISH.  When we start painting nails, even the boys line up!!!!!!  If you want to provide any fun things that we can put in their bags, we welcome them!  Right now we have plenty of toothbrushes and toothpaste and Bibles, we can use "pampering" sorts of things like nail polishes, emery boards, lotions....you know "girly" things.  (We need about 20 of each...at least that is our estimate)
     "Al que puede hacer muchisimo mas que todo lo que podamos imaginarnos o pedir, por el poder que obra eficazmente en nosotros, a el sea la gloria en la eglesia y en Cristo Jesus por todas las generaciones, por los siglos de los siglos: Amen"
     TRANSLATION:  "Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen"  Ephesians 3:10
