Hi to everyone in Wisconsin! The flight was great, the sun was out when we arrived and the chicken bus arrived soon after we cleared customs.
The whose who are more ambitious than me started their run going up and enormous hill
The rest of us took a walk through Sumpagao
12 kids and their parents followed up back, and we gave them candy (lucky there were no dentists around)
Nick names are crucial, we now have an Elvis, Lurch and Dr. Dobber
There was only one bit of bad news. Jon Cronce has been very helpful and organized, but I think he is power-hungry with dreams of grandeur. He gets this because Sumpango is the one of the few places of Earth where Jon, a very short man, towers over all the people that he meets. I am very concerned that this will go to his head. I’ll keep you posted!

ReplyDeleteWe love you Ry and will continue praying for you and the entire team. We can't wait to hear about the many ways God is going to work through the team. Wish you were here enjoying our balmy -5 degrees :)
ReplyDeleteHi Plover Group! Nancy and I are happy you arrived safely and that all is going well. Please say "Hola" to the elders and the Chiquito family and Dr Paredes from us. We are praying for you. -15 here tonight so 40 sounds good. God bless you.

Jon Cronce towering over the people... quite the mental picture... of course Jon always towers over me so why should I be surprised?
ReplyDeleteAs you commence your first day of clinic I pray God's blessings of impact for the people, the church and your team!
What a joy to join God when He is at work!!!

ReplyDeleteDear Bill:
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you are wondering why you haven't heard from your loving family. Well....I guess you forgot to show me how to blog back. It's taken me 30 attempts and 4 days to figure this out. It sounds like God and the people of Guatemala are keeping you guys busy and the trucks are keeping you awake? It brings tears to my eyes every time I read a blog; I hear it in your voices what an experience you are having. We pray every day for your energy.It's freezing in Wisconsin and the dog is getting me up four times a night without her dad and I've gotten a face rash and a bad virus. Wouldn't you know that when the doctor leaves the house, the wife gets sick. Rachel, Leah, Casey and Lynn love you up to the sky and back.
