Nice afternoon visit at the center with the kids.

  I was amazed to see how much  progress Willy and Jaime had made after their leg surgeries. They have had several days to become accustomed to their leg braces and the pain from surgery has disapated. It's almost as if they understand that something good is happening.  I can't wait to see how they react to their mobility in a few weeks when we see the legs without the casts. God has certainly Blessed these kids.

  Alvaro preached at Church this morning. He was on fire and made many great point and illustrations about the Rock that is our God. We need to hold on and not retreat! We are collecting food items for the many families effected by the flooding in the Solola area. There is a Church there that we are partnering with. Very frightening.

 Rainy season has been tough. The mudslides were evident and a bit unnerving on the drive to Church this morning. The problem with the roads here is that when they cut them into the side of the mountains, they do not cut away sufficient mountain to make it safe.   I travelled the major international highway that goes to El Salvador and while it was passable, there were many detours. And that is right next the the country's capital.

 Coincidentally, the former President of Guatemala and his wife were right in front of me on the flight down last night. As we left the plane I shook his hand and thanked him for his service. I thanked his wife for going to the USA and visiting as a tourist (aka spending money). He is currently the Mayor of the Capital City and she had a weak run for the Presidency in September.
