Safe and Sound

After a full day of travelling, we had a good night's rest at Seteca, the largest theological seminary school in Central America.  The grounds are beautiful.  It's a quiet oasis in the midst of much cement. 

We had an early start today.  After breakfast at Pollo Campero, we spent an hour in down town Guatemala.  Holy week is coming to an end and the streets were full of people and parades. The mix of catholicism and rituals from the mayan traditions are an overwhelming sight to see.

We travelled safely toTactic this afternoon.  We are getting settled and and off to tour the grounds.  Unfortunately, there is no wifi access.  To be able to blog, we need to borrow a data stick from the Guest House hosts and use their computer.  We will try to update occasionally to advise you of our prayer needs and our experiences.  When possible we'll try to post a picture or two.  For now, please know we are safe and excited to be here.

Our Bags Are Packed and We're Ready To Go.....

We leave tomorrow morning on an early flight and we are glad to have you journey with us.  We will do our best to capture the moments that both challenge and affirm us.  We are grateful for this opportunity and are humbled to be His servants.
