Twice As Nice
After some misinterpreted directions, our team started building the back wall of the first house incorrectly yesterday. I finished yesterday’s work a little unsatisfied with the results. When we arrived at the site this morning, we took a new approach to the other walls. The results were so much better. After some efforts to repair the back wall this morning, we decided to disassemble the back wall and start over. It put us back a little from a time perspective, but we will complete the first house with much more satisfaction.
We worked really hard today, and we continued to build relationships. Tomorrow, I think we will finish the first house. This is not a small accomplishment. This home will house Betty and her five children (Marcos, Fernando, Rosita, and two others). Then it will be on to house number two. Keep praying for energy, strength, and wisdom.
Just Checking In from Guatemala
We made it to Guatemala safely. I don’t have easy access to the internet this year, so my updates will most likely be very limited.
We have already been very busy working on the two houses. It’s quite a bit different than our previous trips. But different is good. God is doing a new thing in Xenacoj, and it is good!
Rice and Beans, Beans and Rice
In a few short days, we will be eating this breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Our family has this meal nearly once a week since our trip
To Guatemala last year. It reminds us of our trip, our friends in Guatemala, and how many people live all the time. We can’t wait to go back this weekend.
What did you have for dinner tonight?

Berry Nice!
One of the things I like most about this time of year is fresh picked berries. I just picked these black raspberries from our back yard. With a little more time and some long pants, I could pick a couple more containers of these.
What’s your favorite summertime produce?

Beach Day
Leanne and I took a day trip to Ocean Grove, NJ. The sun is out. The air has the scent of ocean water. And the water is a little cold which is typical for June at the Jersey Shore. After an 8 mile run on the boardwalk through Bradley Beach, Avon by the Sea, Belmar, and Spring Lake, it’s nice to relax by the ocean.
When was your last visit to the beach? Where did you go? What do you like best about the beach?
