As I write this the temperature is about 90° F with high humidity.  It is hard to believe that I sat for an hour on a Louisville runway this morning waiting for the de-icing truck.

The trip to Guatemala was easy, and I meet up with the other TEN team members at the airport in Guatemala City.  They had all flown out of Atlanta, while I took Continental through Houston.  The two hour bus trip to Escuintla was also uneventful and we all arrived at the Sarita hotel just in time for some tortilla soup and plantaines with moIMG_6971.JPGIMG_6971.JPGle sauce - yum!

After lunch, Ralph Hall, Blake Webb and myself made the hour drive to the project site in Guazacapán, where we looked over the location.  It is always amazing to see the ways in which God is working in peoples lives.  The pastor related to us that the church was praying very hard in the days leading up to our arrival.  The location where the water system is to go sits about 150 feelt above the water source, and the church had spent all their money on a water pump that was supposed to pump water that far; however, it was not doing it.  The church began praying that the somehow the water tank on top of the new location would get filled before we arrived.  At 2pm the day before we arrived, it was filled.  For some reason, the pump started to push the water with such force that it filled the tank in less than 10 minutes.  As he told me this, thourgh a translator naturally, you could sense his deep faith in the Lord and his belief that He will provide.  This was not the only small miracle that he told me about, but is representative of many that surrounded this project.  Again, a people who have very little can show us what true faith looks like.
