Day 1 - March 24/09

Two students, Karlynn Peltier & Phil Morrow, will be posting daily blogs. They have been working at "stockpiling" their thoughts in the absence of internet access, and they will now be posted for your "viewing" pleasure over the course of the next few days. Postings will change, so check back daily!

Hola!

We have arrived in Guatemala City and are excited to get some sleep for a packed day tomorrow!
Customs went very slowly in Calgary and as a result, many of us had to rush to the gate in order to board our flight to Houston on time. We made it onto the plane in time and we were amazed by the amount of people who asked about our fleet of red-shirted teenagers.

God has already placed several people in our paths that we could minister to. As we were about to board the flight from Houston to Guatemala City, there was a man named Elam who was very intrigued by our team. He overflowed with questions and poured them out for many of our team to answer. He asked about prayer, worship, missions, and the bible. With every question that came, we worked together to answer him by using life experiences and stories. We prayed with him and asked God to reveal himself to Elam as he continued on his journey through life. We don’t know if he has accepted Christ, but we do know that there is a seed planted in his heart. Many of us have decided to pray for him and that he would see God in a very real way. We would love it if you also kept Elam in your prayers.

It has only been one day, and we have barely reached our destination, but God has already worked through us and in us in a very powerful way. There is no doubt that he will continue to reveal himself to us as well as many others in the 9 days come.
We are excited to see what he has in store for us tomorrow!

Thank-you for your support and prayers,
Phil
