Below is a note from Sue Kawase reporting from Guatemala about her trip with Pastor Rany Catlett, Kevin Mangold and Sue's son Kenon.
Our Guatemala team is socked in the village unable to fly out because of the thick clouds. The first flight attempted and turned back, having to land again. The experienced MAF pilot could not see any openings throught the clouds, and so returned to the short landing strip. Greg Walton attempted unsuccessfully to navigate through a river last weekend, but his Rover got stuck; even a minivan could be tough getting out. Our flights out are scheduled to leave 9am on Monday.
Other than this, we have had a wonderful time in the village. Greg and Helaine have treated us royally, Guatemalan village style. We've had suppers by candlelight on their veranda; native lunches with Sabina- a Guatemalan woman and her girls cooked in her stone/mud corner "oven"; cold showers by candlelight; and a chance to love and serve these wonderful people. Kenon has taken the challenge with communicating in Spanish with the school children and the rest have attempted as well. The school children enjoyed watching Kenon on the trampoline. The satellite and hot water heater is up and running thanks to Jim Grimes and Kenon. Randy and Kevin Mangold have been great team leaders, keeping us humored with lots of stories, and leading us in flexibility, Guatemala time.
Thank you for your prayers...we are enjoying our time tremendously; and, especially glad to serve and love Greg, Helaine, and little Gigi.
PS- All who sent gifts--they send their big THANKS!
Love from all,
Sue Kawase
