Randy and Miranda were kind enough to write this up yesterday.
Hi from Guatemala! It's only the second day here and we've already fallen in love with the city. We've had so many great experiences already and many more to come. Although some experiences aren't so positive, God has a plan for everything. Like the first morning here, during Joel's welcome presentation, he got a phone call from the leader of a new skate church program. We were getting ready to go there to hang out with the skaters and do a competition. After getting off the phone Joel announced that we had to cancel our visit because one of the guys involved had been murdered that morning, which really hit close to home. The skate church guys from back home are like family to us and so we really could relate to the pain that the guy's family, friends, and leaders felt. It was a sad mornig for us and the rest of the team. More on the positive side, we visted Casita Benjamin today and had an amazing time putting on a VBS for the kids. Just being able to be with them, make them smile, and build relationships was such a blessing. Everything that has happened on the trip so far has been so impacting, and like we said, it's only the second day! We look forward to many more experiences in the next few days, and to seeing you all when we get back home.

P.S. - Special hello and we love you to Jodi, Colin, Emma and Shane :)

Hi Rand and Miranda! We are praying for you two and for the mission team down there in Guatemala. What a wonderful thing to be able to share Jesus with these people and help them out. Can't wait to hear details and stories when you guys get back.
