Crenshaw and Randolph Counties Arrive in Guatemala

Our mission team arrived in Guatemala City at 11:15 a.m.. Our flight went smoothly; however, we faced difficulties at the airport in Guatemala. Approximately forty pieces of luggage was left behind. Some of the luggage contains personal items and others contain medication and other supplies. We are hoping to retrieve our bags before we leave Guatemala City tomorrow morning.

Tonight we are staying in a compound provided for us by Impacto Ministries. Delmi and her "staff" have cooked two wonderful meals for us today, and will be traveling with us to Lake Atitlan to prepare our meals for the rest of the week.

After dinner tonight, we gathered in the compound for a devotional delievered by Pastor Luis. Pastor Luis read from 1 Peter: 2:9 and discussed how we as Americans like to be in what we feel is our comfort zone. By doing foreign ministries, we must realize that our TRUE comfort zone is with God no matter where we are or what we are doing.

We are looking forward to a wonderful week. Please continue to keep us in your prayers.

Brittany Ballard and Brittany Walker
