The electricity was off in San Cristobal due to the storm yesterday. So Josue and Estella had no lights. Estella and Danilo took kitchen workers at 3am to the street market in the city. They bought the food for the week saving 46% of what we pay with…

Well ,it was a physically hard day for Dottie as she had multiple blood tests and then they tried the 3 MRI's but one would not work due to metal in her back. We were in the MRI room for 4 hours. Also she had more than 2…

The funeral was at 8:30pm Tuesday so very sad for Eduardo's father who was his only family. Orlando, Quique, Samuel and Tony made a power point presentation of him. He was so loved. He played in the band, so the band played two songs at the funeral. Many…

At noon yesterday, Eduardo passed away. He was 15 years old and had suffered so much with kidney disease. He asked God to take him. The funeral service was held here, and I preached. He was in the school band so the band had a a time to…

The university boys and girls helped us continue to move. The two groups have been so kind to Dottie and me. We took Dottie downstairs in her wheelchair. Tony and Quique moved their beds and clothes to the new addition also. Celia asked Dottie how old she is,…

My sermon this morning was "Who we are in Christ". I want so much for all our children to become Christians. But the spiritual warfare seems to have gotten worst. The world has pushed Christ from all areas of life. The last few years have been so stressful…

We began moving books and clothes as well as other items to the new addition. The high school boys and girls helped because the university students had classes. The teens were so helpful and kind. They all volunteered and although we have many things to move, they did…

My granddaughter Keyser has joined Eduardo in the hospital as he has been having rapid weight loss. The dialysis children need so much prayer because as they are aging now at 16 and 17 their bodies are weakening. Can you imagine a neurologist making a house call? The…

Our new addition is 95% finished so we will start moving in a few days. With Dottie bedridden it will be difficult for me because I have no idea of decorating a house and getting everything we have gathered in 35 years in Guatemala. The boys went and…

In Mark 9: 24 it says that a man brought his son to Jesus. The child had a demon. Jesus told him to believe but the man said, "I believe but help my unbelief". I am saying to Jesus right now in this prayer for Him to help…

Yesterday, Eduardo, dialysis patient, who has been in the hospital for over 3 weeks has begun to have bleeding in his brain. Only prayer can be his medicine so please bow your head when you read this and pray for God's will for Eduardo. Jerry and I prayed…

Would you believe I waited months to watch the football game with LSU verses USC and Direct TV cut the feed two minutes before the game. Orlando was able to get me hooked to a Spanish speaking channel, so I watched the LSU TIGRES. (Las TEE GREYS). Adela…

I am the most blessed man I know. Dottie and I have seen so many children here and grow into adulthood and become wonderful adults. Claudia came here when she was two and she married Angel. They have one child and their own business. They come and teach…

Jeff preached Sunday and then took off with his family to catch a flight back to Tennessee. His preaching is so well received by the children as he speaks perfect Spanish and obviously has a knowledge of the Word. Dottie had a long physical therapy and although very…

Dottie is doing a little better. She can walk with her walker without me helping although I stay right behind her. Rex had a birthday party for his sponsored child and included all the girls in the dorm. Jeff and I had a wonderful conversation about his and…

Rex and some of our staff took the Doncellas girls swimming. Today was visiting day and all the parents came to Bible. It has been a blessing for me to preach to the children and their parents together. Dottie has a good attitude, but her feet just do…
