YAY and Thanks!

Thanks to lots and lots of prayer coverage, Matt is now less than an hour away from home here in Quiche, with almost all of the proper paperwork done on the truck! Isaac and Isaac's mommy have definitely missed Daddy the last week, so there will be a very joyful reunion forthcoming...

Thanks also to John Villanueva, who braved the trip through Mexico with Matt this week. We're not at all sure what we would have done without him.

We are so thankful that in the end, everything worked out with the trip. The Mexicans did not take away any of our stuff like many people told Matt that they would in the town just before the border. The roads were good and the truck drove well. The Guatemalan border was another hassle, of course (There are many long stories that maybe we'll type later), but like I said, it all worked out in the end! Arrival today is actually one day sooner than we had hoped originally.

Please continue to pray for the cleft palate kids who are still getting their surgeries one by one all of this week. Also for a lady named Anastasia who we met in clinic today. She does not know the Lord and also suffers some pretty debilitating health problems. She will go see Dr. Hoak about her gallbladder, but we had a chance to proclaim the Gospel to her today and need to pray that the seed we planted will someday bloom.

Again, many thanks to all of you for your faithful prayers and love and support. Our next post will be as a complete family again!
