Savior's Sons

Remember how we said that we felt bad about not being able to host our friends from Houston because it was our first night home with Isaac? Well, we got a chance to make up for that last night.

Jacob called just before supper to let us know that the guys were leaving Chajul a little early due to some weather issues (the road to the hotel isn't really passable when it's been raining real hard) and wondered if we had space here for the night. Well, of course!

So about 8pm, 15 tired men came to the house. We didn't have food for everybody, so they ran to Pollo Campero and brought dinner back home. We got them all a hot shower and a clean bed and they looked like they felt a lot better this morning.

Since they'd been working all week and eating Guatemalan portions (these are full grown American men - Guatemalan portions don't really get it), we ran into town this morning and bought 90 eggs to get them a big breakfast. Hope none of their doctors are reading this - and if they are, they're cholesterol-free eggs - very special chickens we have here...

Anyway, most of these guys have been praying for Baby Isaac since the time we let everyone know we were pregnant. And it was great for us to have them here and able to see him in person!

After breakfast and morning devotions, they went off to the Utatlan school for a little tour - and took Matt's parents with them (both Matt's parents are retired educators).

Anyway, during that time, Matt got to spend some quality time with Isaac, teaching him some of the ropes of rock stardom (it's never too early to start). In the first picture, you'll see Isaac is playing the perfect air guitar (apparently, he'll be playing right-handed). He even has the aloof rock star look on his face.

The second picture is of Roy Simmons (with Savior's Sons) holding Isaac.

And the third is Isaac's "Power to the People" pose. He didn't need any help with that one - he came up with it all on his own... really.... See, even a rock star in his sleep!
