Hi Chad,
Comment by Mary Molegraaf June 17, 2008 @ 4:20 amSo you get to represent your family on this trip! That’s really exciting. Work hard and play hard while you are there. I’ll be at home praying for the team, that you will stay healthy, and see the Lord work in and through you this week.

Chad!
Comment by Jordan Greiner June 17, 2008 @ 7:36 pmWow I remember reading these when I first got to Guatemala and thinking about all the poor losers back at home following everything from phone calls and computers. Now I’m one of those losers. You will love it down there man its amazing. One of the best experiences of my life. I can’t wait to see what you come back with man it will be sweet. I kinda miss you already man, stay safe, dont drink the water! Sanitize your hands as much as possible! Well Ill talk to you later man see ya.
Hi Chad,
God Bless!
Comment by Joel Berens June 17, 2008 @ 7:54 pmNot sure when you will get this but whenever you do just know there are a lot of people praying for the entire team and me specifically for you. I have been and will be praying for you all the time. I pray all is going well and can’t wait to hear all the stories. Give my daughter a hug for me if you would.

Chad:
First, Blake went to Guatemala, then your Dad, then your Mom…then they went back two times (or more)…and now it is YOUR turn!!!! We’re excited for you: until now it has only been their stories and pictures. Now it is real for you, too! Know that we are praying that God will make this a personal experience for you. Try not to make it what you think it was for them. God has a plan for YOU there–things that only YOU can do and people only YOU can touch! Listen to God’s prompting and look for opportunities to be used for Him. Know that you would not be there unless it was His plan; He wants to use you to love others for Him, and He wants you to see Him in ways that you just couldn’t here in Grandville. How cool is that?!
God bless you,
The Dooleys
Psalm 35:27 LB

Comment by Kevin Vanden Bosch June 19, 2008 @ 7:28 pmMiss ya at work this week. Hope we taught you how to build in the little time that we worked together. Praying for you as you share the good news tomorrow on dedication day. Don’t leave anything back from your team or the Guatemalan people. Take it easy!
Chad,
Praying for you this week, that your heart will be touched in a special way as well as the people that you meet. We pray for health, strength and good weather so that you can get everything accomplished.

Praying for you back home and hoping that the work of the LORD is being done through you and the others and that all shortcomings remain short and resolved. Continue to hold hope in Him and may your work bear fruit. Also, if you’re playing euchre w/ Kevin don’t let him get too cocky : ) Mom and Dad say hi and miss you tons!
Comment by Blake and Tina June 20, 2008 @ 10:15 pmChad,
I’m praying for you. Hopefully you are enjoying a tremendous experience and both you and the Guatamalan people are experiencing God first hand.

Comment by Bruce Born June 21, 2008 @ 8:37 amHey Chad, It’s your turn. After hearing so much through the years, how cool that you can be there. I know you are enjoying the plan God has for you, and that He is using you to make a difference. I pray for your team, and the whole group as you have faced delays and tiredness, but God works it all out (even a visiting rat!). Enjoy the clinic days, it is great fun playing with the kids. Stay healthy, and feel God’s love all around you. Lynn
Comment by Lynn McInnis June 21, 2008 @ 9:31 amHola Chad:
Comment by Mom and Dad June 21, 2008 @ 6:43 pmJust got done looking at all the pictures. Looks like your enjoying it even though you’re all probably very tired. Chad, we miss you and have been praying for health and that you will have your own personal experience where you let God use the gifts that He has given you. Don’t be afraid to step out of your box when you feel God nudging you or maybe hitting you over the head. Love the pictures of you with the kids. The love and attention you give them they will probably never forget. Look forward to hearing your personal stories and how you saw God working this week. The week is always filled with so many God sightings. Remember not to bite your nails(had to get that in just one more time ha ha!). We miss you and we love you tons!!!!
Love Mom and Dad
HOLA chad I love you, DAD. Awsome pics of you and the kids. You look like your having a blast. Remember God sent you on this trip for a reason. Open your eyes and ears as you see him working in your life. Act on that nudge when you feel it and you will be blessed from it. Im proud of you and love ya tons, DAD
Comment by Alan Jurgens June 21, 2008 @ 8:17 pmHi Chad, been thinking about you and praying for you lots. Love the pictures, I’m sure the kids are having a blast with you. When I see your pics, you remind me so much of your Dad when he was your age! = ) Of course, you are way more mature than he was!! Praying God will continue to bless you with good health and lots of opportunities to show His love to the beautiful people of Guatemala. Lots of love, A. Andrea
Comment by Andrea Pohler June 21, 2008 @ 9:36 pmChad:
We LOVED the pictures and can tell that God is using you to show His love to others. That is SO cool. Your heart will be changed. Who knows? It may even mean that you will get tears in your eyes when you share about this experience (like your Dad)…. That’s okay, I know how THAT goes…been there done that just listening to the stories. Just know that I’ll have a box of Kleenex ready when you guys tell about your trip during church. If you need a tissue, just let me know!
We continue to pray!
God bless you,

Comment by Lynette Dooley June 21, 2008 @ 10:43 pmHow precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with You.

Chad,
Comment by Kristy Van Wyhe June 22, 2008 @ 8:01 pmIt was so much fun looking at the pictures and seeing your smiling face as you were playing with the kids! You have been in my prayers this week as you have stepped out of your comfort zone and into God’s will. I pray that you will see the many gifts and talents He has given you, be put to use. Have fun tonight and tomorrow!
Love, Kristy
Chadders!
