During our month here, we have been blessed with awesome fellowship with other missionaries and Guatemalans. Our schedule here is completely different. We typically do not have church on Sunday but rather on Tuesday night for an English service and Friday night for a Spanish service. There are also several other prayer meetings and services throughout the week and sometimes special services and meetings. Saturday there was a special potluck at the Adonai School to dedicate the school year. Last night we watched a Christian movie out on the lawn: “The War Room.”

 

 

Today we said our last goodbyes, got in the little plane to fly back to city to catch our flight to Mexico City, and the little plane didn’t want to start. We are still here in Canillá. Our fellowship time has been extended! As they say, “If you’re going to be stuck somewhere, you might as well be stuck with people you like.” Or maybe I just say that, but in our case it’s true. Tonight we had dinner with a team from Spain that arrived this afternoon.  God continues to bring wonderful people from all over the world here to be part of His work. 

 

 

Tonight, as I was once again ruminating on how much poorer I will be due to the rebooking of flights, God spoke to me through some verses written on the wall of the bathroom where we are spending the night: 

 

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”—1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. 

 

It’s all His anyway.  At least it should be.
