Winter has hit Guatemala and although we know Aslan has not abandoned us, it seems that this tropical land is turning to frost. The beautiful rain has kept us locked inside for 3 days, the temps have dropped, and although its fun pretending like it is fall in Chicago, the down sides of winter here have hit us as well.
Prayer requests-
The stomach flu is going around the orphanage. Specifically among the gringos. This nasty virus will hit some of our team for 48 hours before it passes. And we are living communally. Not the best for prevention, so we go to God.
The kids are stir crazy and are susceptible to not only going crazy but the flu as well.
Everyone is seemingly catching colds.
Overall, this is not what we expected when we traveled south:D But alas, pray that we can enjoy the cold days, the hot coffee, and that we will be equip to nurse one another back to health.
Praise- there are nurses on the other team that is here right now! They know their stuff.
Blessing!

ReplyDeleteLauren, we are praying for you all! Emily emailed us about the stomach bug, so we are praying for quick recoveries and strength. I knew that Tropical Storm Alex dumped a lot of rain on Belize and parts of Guatemala...glad that it did not cause flooding, but didn't know how cold it was. You all are on our hearts all the time.
