Mercer - Day 4

Today (Thursday) begins Day 4 in Guatemala and Day 2 of ministry. The team got to see Fundacion Salvacion for the first time yesterday, and had a wonderful time meeting Sandra (the Director) and all the kiddos. It is always interesting to see the reactions of first-time visitors to these homes, and I hope to get one of the team members to post some thoughts today or tomorrow about their experience. Often times expectations of what they will see and the reality of what they do see are so different - always a cool perspective. Be looking for an update from one of the team members soon.

Overnight last night, as I'm sure you heard, there was a large earthquake off the coast of Honduras. We felt aftershocks here, but nothing too large. In fact, yours truly slept through every bit of it! Rest assured that everyone is safe and there is nothing to worry about here.

Please pray for energy and strength for the team. While our schedule is honestly not TOO demanding, this is a long trip and rest will be very important for everyone. Today we begin ESL classes and some other fun activities for the kids. It should be a great time. Thanks for your continued prayers and stay tuned for updates.

Dios le Bendiga!
