A helicopter fell into the Lake at Atitlan which is a major tourist spot. Allen worked and repaired the fans in my home. He is a blessing. Amy and Brenda have not stopped helping since they arrived.

It is hard to believe but today is Michelle’s 27thbirthday. She came here at age1 with epilepsy and the medical folks gave her a short life span but God has blessed her. She had a wonderful birthday party. Dottie has begun inviting the boys from university who have…

I did not feel very well when I woke up so I listened to biographies of Corrie Ten Boom, Jim& Elizabeth Elliot, John Wesley, Joni Eareckson, The Great Awakening. As I age, nearly 78, I just seem to want to study the lives of those who made a difference…

Today I set all day to listen to Christian bible lessons. I should run through a troop and jump over a fence. Today was one of the coldest days we have ever had. Looking at the TV it appears that we in Guatemala are better off than Texas…

I had a real laugh yesterday as I slipped and fell. I did not get hurt but before I could get up Michelle our special needs child ran up the stairs to see if I was ok. She cannot read or write but she has compassion and love…

The ice and snow in Lake Charles knocked out Debbie’s electricity, phone and email. Our son, Chad, has kept them warm with the fireplace. With so many computers, etc for the kids to have class we are having to add more lines. So Quique & Abraham are doing…

The children are doing the best their can with virtual classes. The university students are having a tough time. Adela starts at 7:30am and finishes her homework at 9pm. She is doing that because she wants to make all A’s. She did make all A’s last semester. Josue…

The most difficult part of being a preacher, at least for me, is living out what you preach. Today I shared “JOY” with the children. God’s joy is always the same. Happiness depends on what is happening to me. I win and I am happy. I lose and…

I keep seeing on TV how difficult it is for children to study virtually.  Many kids are getting 1 day a week of studying. Depression, aggression and suicide is off the charts. Dottie & I were unable to travel and minister in 2020 due to restrictions and it looks…

Dottie and I have passed the one year mark for quarantine. Due to our ages of 77 we decided we would go with the science. It is incredible that with this many children and adults on campus only one has tested positive and that was our doctor. She…

Junior had a biopsy. So the physicians here are doing the best they can. They believe he will keep improving. I worry so much about the education children all around the world are receiving. Some on-line classes are given only once or twice a week. We are able…

Junior is doing better. He had a blood transfusion so we are optimistic. Today is Dottie and my 58thwedding anniversary. Her parents never thought we would make 5 years.

The courts sent us a 12 year old girl. This is the first child since March 2020. Our prayer is that the courts would start sending us children although the virus is still around. It does not appear the virus is here to stay for months more. Our…

God has been so good. All of the children who needed a computer for college have one except for Cesar & Josue will get his on Monday. It was reported today there have been 800,000 suicides worldwide in 2020. Quarantining is doing as much damage as the covid.…
