Friday April 2, 2010-The Bridge, Spring Hill, TN

Deja vu

The road to Hotlanta is becoming a familiar path. After only 3 short days home we're headed back to Guatemala once again.
God has been so very gracious in sending mission teams our way and we are grateful for the opportunity to serve. He provides everything we need including the strength to carry on.
A group of seven from The Bridge, a church in Spring Hill,TN, myself and the chief cook and bottle washers of a new company called Resounding Productions, Nashville, TN, are headed south for the week.
Lights! Camera! Action....ACTION!!
Hannah Harris and Leslie Haney graduated college and set up shop about a year ago. With hearts to serve the Lord, they will be helping us, by producing a video of our work in Guatemala.
Now that we've been properly introduced - on with the show.
We will be serving high in the mountains of San Marcos. Base camp will be Ojo de Aqua-8000 ft above sea level. Monday and Tuesday we will have Bible Schools and do food distribution in Armenia, a small village - 9000 ft. On Wednesday we will travel to Choanla-a village over 12,000 ft in the mountains. We will have a Bible School there and distribute food to families.
As one might imagine neither of these villages receive visitors very often, especially not from the US.
Unless I am mistaken, neither area has ever had Americans come and serve before. Ely and myself along with three other Americans did go to Choanla once but only stayed about 30 minutes before heading back down the mountain.
The excitement of the team lifts my spirits. As we go we are praying for God's hand to guide our steps.
Thanks so much for your prayers. Pray for Donna, my lovely bride, and Lexie, our granddaughter, who fell last week and cracked her skull. She will have an MRI this week at Vanderbilt. She and her mom, Rebecca, are with us as her dad serves in the armed forces in Iraq.
Ely may have a tough week after chemo on Wed.
God is good and He is able! To Him be all glory.
