A while ago our church started supporting the ministry of man named Moises in Guatemala. We've prayed for him and sent him money. This year we finally had the opportunity to send a small team down to Guatemala to experience first-hand the work he does and learn about ways our church can better partner with his ministry, which includes a vibrant church, a seminary of about 140 men and this awesome farming program designed to teach the Mayan people, secluded high in the mountains, how to survive and be self-sustaining with organic farming and irrigating techniques. Dave and two other young dads comprised this team. These men were gone for a week and just safely returned to their wives and 13 children (!) last night. We praise God that though there were many opportunities to get sick, everyone stayed safe and healthy and God filled each man with joy and vision from this glimpse into a world and culture so different than our own.
Dave told me stories for hours last night and has a whole camera full of pictures to share. I'd love to see him put a few on the blog, but don't hold your breath. :) Until then, here is the sign Ella led us in making to welcome Dave home and here are the girls with their arms full of the hand-made presents Dave brought home from Guatemala.

Guatemala was by far my favorite Central American country when we traveled in college. Anxious to hear Dave unpack his trip. Maybe we will have to come see some of those photos! :)
