Today we took a "short" trip just across the border to Guatemala. Michael had been invited to speak in a special service at Esperanza, a small town where our fellow H.I.M. pastors are opening a new work.
We started out our trip by leaving very early in the morning! I had made sausage muffins and hashbrowns to take along for breakfast - our own version of McDonald's! We were planning a smooth 2 and 1/2 hr. trip to Motozintla where we would meet pastor Javier. Unfortunately, the very curvy roads and our greasy breakfast did not agree with Taylor! Thank the Lord for wet wipes and a pastor's wife who washed the dirty clothes and provided pants for Taylor to wear!
After getting everything and everyone loaded in Motozintla, we drove for another 45 minutes on mostly bumpy, dirt roads that headed further up into the mountains. It was a fun drive with beautiful scenery.
Once we arrived at the event location, I kind of felt like singing a song I remember from a film we used to watch in Science class. "We're on top of the world..."
There were lots of people from our local H.I.M. churches represented at the service, plus some new people from the community.
After the service, we were served a meal.
Here's the people waiting in line for their plate of food.
Our plate of food. The chicken was really yummy!
On our way home, we stopped to take a picture of the roads that we traveled that wind their way around, and then eventually up (or down) the mountain.
It was a long day for us, but a good day! We trust the work of the Lord will prosper there in Esperanza, Guatemala.
*Stay tuned. Next weekend we have a wedding planned, as well as a marriage seminar with Butch Heath. We're planning to have a busy and exciting time!
