Fickers to the Rescue (again)

We got a call from Canilla this morning. They are bringing their Tacoma to us to use for a few days. David apparently got the Ford working again (new front spring and all) and they are helping us out.

Heidi rode down to Chichicastenango with the SOS team this morning. They rented a microbus with a driver to go to Panajachel for the day and had to go through Chichi to get there, so they offered Heidi a ride. With any luck, Isaac and Matt will get to go pick Heidi up in Chichi and prevent her from having to ride a Chicken Bus home.

It's really hard being on the receiving end of help like this, knowing that we are leaving a family of 10 with only one working truck. But they insisted that we are all here working together and we need to help each other out...

While writing this, our friend Roscoe stopped by and is looking for a wheelchair for a little boy who is 12 years old and can't walk. They are working with him to do physical therapy and believe that God is going to heal him (they have seen God heal a dozen or so kids who couldn't walk) but need a way to get him around the house for a little while - he's getting too big to carry very easily. We're now looking around for a wheelchair to help them.

Well, Isaac is waking up and it's time to go...
