For those who do not know, the rainy season has been very difficult in Guatemala and all of Central America.  It is now one week without rain, and hopefully the worst is over.  Now the weather has turned colder and we have very low night time temperatures.  We have been asked by the local TV station to offer abergue (shelter) to residents who are unfortunate enough to have to sleep on the streets.  Most are alcohol and drug users but not all.  For the first time we will offer housing and food to anyone who knocks on our door and the local news radio and TV are going to send people our way.  We don't know what to expect, but we have added more blankets food and medicine to get ready.  We hope this will be a blessing to those who are most needy.  As we get people in, we will post pictures and news.

The men are going to join me tonight to take coffee and sweet bread to those people who are staying at the hospital to be with their children and loved ones who are in the hospital.  We also take it too the hospital workers.  Sally York, Erve York and I have done this for the last two weeks.  Sally and Erve have  gone to Canilla for the weekend.  The men of En El Corazon de Jesus are going with me tonight. 

I  pray the men  will gain the gift and pleasure the Lord gives us when we give to others.  This will put these men on the other side to be giving instead of receiving.  I think it will be a very special evening.
