I know that there are many anxious friends and family who are awaiting word on our loved ones in Guatemala, I just want to offer some assurance that, NO news IS GOOD news! The fact that we have not heard anything yet is very reassuring to me. I know without a doubt, that had something gone wrong, we would have heard immediately. Since there has been no news we can rest in the assurance that they are working away being God’s hands and feet!
My guess is that they arrived very late, around 3 or 4 am, which will put them already behind the schedule of building. Dan had hoped that they would be able to get an early start each day before the heat and rain comes. Arriving so late will put them behind a bit but I know that this team will be able to handle it!
Today their goal was to get all 5 houses up. They would mount the interior drywall and exterior drywall to the steel studs, make a window and a door, tape and put the first coat of mud inside. Please pray that they will have the energy to get it all done but more importantly that they will be able to build the relationships with the precious people of Bendicion and with Jesus!
Tonight will be their first large group devotion time with amazing singing, God sightings and they will begin to find out how they can become Sold Out for Christ! Pray that the Holy Spirit moves through the group. They will also have their first small group time where they can dig in a little deeper into the nightly topic!
Pray that they will get a good nights sleep and will be re-energized for tomorrow is STUCCO DAY! If I hear anything I will post immediately! Thank you for your continued prayers and support for the team!
In His Grip!

The first days of the trip are supposed to be at La Bendición, the same as Rockford Reformed’s, just finished before you arrived! No internet available until you get back to the base in Chimaltenango. I know that God will bless Team Ivanrest as richly as He blessed us, and we will pray for a dry stucco day and many miracles!
