Hi Randy
So happy to see that you are going again. We hope you stay healthy. Yes, it is awesome that the Lord has it all planned already and we will pray that the hearts that you touch will be open to receive what you are so willing to share. I know you will again be so blessed by them. May God go with you and the whole team. Ed and Sya

RVL,

The day is finally here! I am praying for you this week and hope all the planning and preparation make it run smoothly. We were in the same village last year and it was neat setting. Take care and I wish you the best.

Randy, I came to your page to write because I just knew you “old guys” would not be getting all the hits like the young crowd. Wanted to tell you that we are praying for you, and wishing you good health and God’s blessings while you are there. Glad you are there for everyone. Have a great week. Carole P.

Coach,

We will pray for you this week and you use your gifts to serve the people in Guat. Missed you Tuesday morning at our early morning group. I thought about your guys as we learned about being “fully present”. Enjoy the moment, TODAY. Know that God is working through you in special ways, today, that will have a lasting Kingdom impact. Look for Jesus in the eyes of the children, He is with them and you!

Hey dad!

Just leaving but had to say hello! Hope you are having a great day and that you are sleeping well!We’ll miss you this weekend, hopefully that blasted chicken won’t come home with us again:) Love you!

Randy:We pray all is going well in Guat. We have not heard any news from the team yet, but no news is good news. We pray for safe travel and that everyone with the 2008 team is staying healthy, cool and dry. We are your PP for the week. You and the team have been in all of our thoughts and prayers since your bus left the church parking lot on Tues AM. Give our Alexa a hug, she might need it after some of those long hot days. We will keep in touch. Your Prayer Partners

Hey big guy!! We’re at the reunion and well its not so great…we got here and the boys took off golfing and we were excited to lay out by the cold cold nice pool yet low and behold no pool…just a big dirt hole…who takes a pool out of the ground when we are here… seriously? Oh and the places…its begining to fade….so next time we’re thinking to have it at Drew and Renees at least the pool will be there and there will be plenty of room for all the fun “mixers” that are to be had! Oh geez…we know you wish you could be here and let me tell you so do we but trust me your ammenties may be even a bit better than here. well hope you have a great day! We love you!!!!!! Mom says hello…

Randy i hope all is going well. Praying for you this week as you serve GOD. Glad to see you on site instead of sick in your room. Praying that God will touch your heart in Guat. as you serve HIM. Take care ALAN

RVL,

It looks like all went well with the building days in the village. The base pictures in the village look good. Sounds like it was another eventful road trip in Guate with the wheel falling off. I am praying for good health and safety for you and the team. Take care and enjoy your last couple of days in Guate.

Mike

Hey dad, I know you probably won’t even read this until you get home, but I just wanted to let you know that I’m thinking about you! I love to see the picures of you! It looks like you are having a great time!

Love you dad! cant wait to hear the stories!

Well, I’m back at McD’s it started to rain so we all ran back from the market. But other than a little rain today we haven’t seen rain for three days.
The building site was great. Our family was mom and dad and five daughters with one son. Very poor but very helpful.
The first medical day was a little different. We went to a working plantation at the end of the world. These people were a bit cold but by the end of the night we were able to get some smiles. But as Dan said, the devil wasnt going to make it easy for us.
The second medical night was better. We were again at another plantation and we were able to take a walk down their village road that ended up in their coffee and corn field. Once we were at the end of the field we could see over the mountain for miles. Just beautiful.
The children have been precious. Big smiles and love to play with us. I fell in love with one at the first medical night. She was about two and just held her arms up and wanted me to hold her for as long as I would. Mom just stood next to us and watched. Don’t know where dad was if dad was even around. But she was a real cutie. Hope to get the pixs of her from some of our girls who all thought it was so cute.
We go to the new mission base today for our final personal devos. Looking forward to that.
Anyways more people are waiting. Thanks for your prayers. Keep them going. We aren’t home yet and still have some traveling to do.
Love to all.
Randy
