Thanks so much for your prayers. God is so faithful and working in the girls’ lives. We all met with John and Sharon on Wednesday and John spoke in very serious terms about the girls’ attitudes and responsibilities while they are here. It was a good session and things have improved greatly with the girls. They are more positive and considerate of one another. We are very encouraged that they will do fine after we leave. Certainly, they will have problems - after all, they are totally opposite - but God’s bigger and He wants to work in their lives as well as through their lives.
We are planning on leaving Chichi early Sunday morning, because of the hurricane and the possibility of mud slides along the road. Please pray that the weather will hold off and that the storm will diminish as it reaches us. Consequently, we will have to spend an extra night in Guatemala City. Please pray that there’s room at the inn.
This will probably be our last entry before leaving Guatemala. Thank you all for your prayers. And please continue to pray for us. We have been asked to continue working with ASELSI, which would require a longer commitment and more time in Guatemala. We are not sure if this is the direction the Lord is laying out for us or not. Our hearts for service are still in Murfreesboro so we need to hear clearly from the Lord.
Bless you all!

With wireless, it's possible to work anywhere on the ASELSI grounds - even in the dining room.
Boiled Toothbrushes!
We don't advise boiling your toothbrushes to clean them. They don't work nearly as well.

These are the two young ladies that we are mentoring. They will stay in Chichi for five weeks after we leave.

The Garden in the Driveway at ASELSI
The new driveway is paved with a lovely garden in the middle. We remembered when the entrance was simply VERY HARD dirt.
The Palm Trees
This is one of the trees which was planted in the four holes our team dug in the hard ground around the building. According to Miguel, the trees are very healthy.
The New Driveway
The new pavement goes to the front door now, with planters in front of the porch. It's very lovely. You can see the palm tree planted in one of the four holes we dug last May.
John at the Computer
John really isn't working - he's playing mahjong!
