If you were able to open the prayer update (some have had trouble), you know we have returned to Panajachael Guatemala doing missions with CAM International.  Rainy season is about over, and winds have begun to pick up.  The lake is reasonably calm in the morning, but white caps are predominant in the afternoon, so only the brave go out then.  The lake levels are up due to a heavier than normal rainy season.

We’ve had much to do at Las Buenas Nuevas especially with the new construction. I expect it’ll be nearly a year to completion.  Speed of completion of projects is not high on the priority scale here.  We’re gearing u for Vacation Bible School here, happening the end of November.  Still not enough teacher committed, so please pray for more.  Last year we had over 200 kids and only four teachers.  We have supplied through our financial partners the curriculum materials, and have challenged the church to supply handcraft stuff needed.  We’ve also been working with water purification to serve the community and to provide a springboard for presenting the gospel.

Of course, our major responsibility is LBN, and we are instituting different things to help our visitors….missionaries, pastors families, and groups….have a relaxing respite.  Keeping the houses in good shape, and upgrading them to U.S. standards is a priority.  My experience with Ecolab has been good training for our work here, and we're thankful God is using us here.More soon.  Thanks for dialing in.
