What a Day! It all turned out different than what we had planned. Yesterday, May 7, Glenn and I had planned on having the newest missionary couple over for a lunch meal. Around 9am, we got the call that Brandon wasn't feeling well and couldn't make it. We then decided to change plans. Glenn asked Jenny what we could get for them at Hyper-Pais (local Super Wal-Mart) and bring it down to them at the Marriott where they're staying. Sprite and Saltine Crackers was the order.

After doing some "catch-up" work here at the house, we left for the 20 minute drive downtown. There at the Obilisco, we had a road blockage, and had to make a 10 minute detour to get back on the correct turn off again. We also notice long lines at the gasoline station...more on that in another blog.

In the lobby of the hotel, we visited with Jenny and her 2 kids (4 month old daughter slept in the stroller and 2 year old son) along with Jenny's mom who is here for several days. The Scotts are a lovely family. They arrived on Monday and are planning on heading out to Xela, hopefully on Friday. They have lived for 1 year here last year before joining CAM in November, 07. As we sat and talked through their options of purchasing a new or used vechilce, Glenn made several phone calls to the mechanic that he knows to see if he had any leads of purchasing a vehicle for them.

The Scotts were very appreciative of the "goodie bag" that I gave them. Oh, Glenn also charged up their old Guatemala Cell phone and now they have a way to communicate with folks.

Since our lunch plans were changed, I still had the meal prepared for supper and just didn't want to have Glenn and I eat by ourselves. So, we called up our neighbors, Steve and Kelli, to join us for my mushroom steak dinner.

The night wasn't over. Glenn had made arrangements for us to go over and visit with Gary and Pauline Williams. Pauline is CAM missionary that is battling cancer for the second time. Our last visit with them, Glenn took over some foot massage lotion and gave her a relaxing foot massage. They loved it. And again, we did that last night. We appreciate the Williams in their ministry to the Lord here at SETECA and in Guatemala. Continue to pray for her and the treatment she is under. Before we left, Glenn prayed for Pauline, for the doctors and for God's guidance.
