SNAPS!






When we were in Guatemala Tita would do this snap thing when something was really great or she was excited. She would hold her elbow up, hand close to her ear, and snap back and forth with her fourth finger and thumb very quickly, all the while shaking her hand. It was so fun to watch and well, impossible to do. If I could have done that Guatemalan snap thing, I would have ast Saturday night.
About a month ago David had this wonderful idea to raise money for our friends down south. It began there and with the love and support so many, we were able to raise close to $3000. That is a lot of money in Guatemala. A small family there can eat for $1 per day and a good day's wage is $10 per day.
Phil and I have talked so much about our experience in La Limonada this past summer. How well we all worked together...How each of us had something wonderful to contribute...How that can only be from God. It is the true picture of the body of Christ. This last Saturday night was just the same. A lot of the Gutemalan crew was there. Other friends that weren't on the trip, barely took a break from their hard work! People gave money, food, time and wonderful items for the silent auction. I feel really proud and thankful to know such amazing people!
Thank you, Lord!
