Dottie needs continuous therapy on her hands as they stiffen from day to day. Today, Monday, is Guatemala Independence Day and a tradition is to run with torches behind then vehicles of your town, school or whatever. It is a loud and a traffic affecting tradition. Our school…

Two years ago when Dottie was diagnosed. I found out why there are blockades and demonstrations. The government added to the cost of gas in order to use it for highways and other “pet” projects. I can certainly understand why the poor are upset. Diesel is over $6.00…

They love the new playgrounds I took a bad fall during the night Friday resulting in cuts to an arm and a tremendous pain to my hips. I just was not paying attention in the dark. Dottie is doing better so I thank you for the prayers and…

Serving communion to a group of children. I was so blessed to hear from three new people that they are praying for Dottie. I do not know if you remember Dotte´s diagnosis but she has HAKIM ADAM SYNDROME (HYDROCEPHALIS). I only tell you this so you will know…

Men giving their testimony. One sweet blessing is Alvaro bringing his Vencedores boys to encircle Dottie and me on their knees and praying for us. Vanessa who is dorm mother to the younger girls does the same thing. They also sing to us as Vanessa has taught them…

Never too young for soccer. I believe in my heart that my update is not read by very many people. Close friends and possibly people who have come on teams are the ones who read it. So I feel comfortable writing personal situations. Dottie is not well. She…

Melvin was my pastor and I miss his wisdom. Gas prices have caused buses to charge 50% more which will cause the poorest of the population to not be able to travel. Some restaurants have increased prices by 20% or more. Congress called a special session to see…

This was taken 2 weeks before Dottie lost her ability to stand. Sunday was a difficult day for my preaching as I was in tremendous pain. Getting old is a bummer. Dottie has struggled and has not attended Sunday services for 3 Sundays. I went to breakfast with…

Dottie with her mother and father who would have the exact disease that Dottie has now. Paralyzed and in a coma 3 years. It is difficult to send photos as the government forbids us from posting photos of children under18. That makes it sad because we do have…

Orlando, Chef Benjamin and Quique We had a video call with a dietician for her to write up what Dottie and I can do health wise. Pastor Carlitos Jr. came and brought his father-in-law to chare with the children. He spoke of being a child who loved church…

Easy to see why I married her. Carolyn´s room in our old house is nearly ready. Colton made her some cabinets. The bathroom is to be finished, and she is already getting furniture. Gas prices went up so there are dozens of blockades around the country. I will…

Engleber with us. We had a face call with a dietician to help us give Dottie the best food. Caroline received some of her new furniture and will soon be staying upstairs in our home. God has supreme power and cannot be defeated or conquered by any force.…

Estefany and Vanessa with Dottie in April. So much labor has been accomplished throughout the summer months as teams have just made such a difference in the beautifying, demolition, constructing, and painting. There has been so much ministry by the teams for the children. There have been many…

Painting the cabinets for the girls. Mariela, Jill, Floro and Gladys went with Estela to the women´s retreat and they will return tonight. Mario is still coming to me with stories of how God touched him at the men´s retreat last weekend. Continuing with the SUFFICIENCY of God…

New cabinets Colton and two older boys are painting the newly build chest-of-drawers and cabinets for the older girls once the renovations are made on the doncellas dorm. The SUFFICIENCY of God means that God has everything within Himself and supplies all the strength, grace and resources people…

Concrete siding on the girls dorm. Dottie is getting worse. She sleeps too many hours. She even sleeps when we put her in a chair. Prayer is the only medicine. The men are taking the siding off the Doncellas and we will be replacing it with concrete board.…
