From Julie: End of day 1 of the clinic. I’m physically exhausted tonight, but thankful to be back here ministering to the Guatemalans. My position on the team is a “float nurse”, which means I do whatever needs to be done, even picking up garbage and providing supplies. It is a good reminder to me that God is more concerned with my heart than He is with my actions. He wants me to reflect Him regardless of what I’m doing. One of the most refreshing parts of the day for me was our walk in the sunshine for a few blocks to the church for lunch – it helps to keep things in perspective. Please pray for physical strength; I’m fighting an infection and am taking antibiotics. Pray that during the week we could be an encouragement to all the people of Los Olivos who are ministering with us, especially so many of the youth group members.
To our family - hope you’re keeping warm! Maybe we can do something like this together someday. Wouldn’t that be great! And perhaps I will find a few more gifts for the rest of you – no begging, please, Lincoln and Sarah!! I love you all.
Oh, and Trudy, could you please be sharing some of these with Mother? Thanks.
To Karna and John – what a blessing Ana has been already!! She has been one busy young woman, but is doing a great job. Thanks for sharing her with us!!

Hi Grandma,
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the present. I hope you're having a great time in Guatemala. I played with my baby and slept with my baby. I'm going to write you a card for when we pick you up. I hope you're being a good nurse.
Love, Ellie
Hey Mom and Dad! Thought I would update you on the weather here in Louisville. Yesterday we went to work late and left early because of snow and ice. It's been raining since yesterday and freezing, so you can imagine the problems. It's early here and I can't fall back to sleep because every time I'm about to, I hear another tree crack or see a weird flash of light, which I think is a transformer going out. It's so crazy. I don't think we are going to work at all today, as everything is covered in probably at least 1/2 inch of ice(maybe much more). Snow may still be to come as well. Anyway, just thought I would fill you in. We are safe, but praying that we don't lose power this time. It would be much different than the Sept 14 windstorm since it is so much colder. Love you both and give my love to Ana, Laura, and Ryan. =)
