Four families in Alotenango have a new house today with a new rocket stove. No more smell of smoke in the house, no more red eyes, and no more fighting to breathe. The ladies of the house were shown how to start the fires and safely operate the stoves.
Manuel Chavez brought a short gospel message at each house dedication and two people made a profession of faith in Christ. One other person is a believer and the others were not ready yet to make the commitment. They have been given the Word so they have it in their minds and we pray that as they think about what they heard, the Holy Spirit will convict them and draw them to Jesus Christ. We build houses, do dental clinics, hand out food and clothes and play with children, but the main focus is to present Christ to the Guatemalan people.
Just a short note about Manuel Chavez....he is a dentist by profession and an evangelist by calling. He does not miss an opportunity to tell someone about Jesus. We got to know Manuel when Don was looking for a dentist who was willing to do dental work for free if we bought the equipment. Manuel has been more than willing to fill that position. I count him as a dear friend and will miss him tremendously.
Tonight we are in Antigua in a hotel and dined at Restaurante Don Rodrigo. The food was excellent and the entertainment was.....entertaining. I hope to have pictures soon. Tomorrow we are off to the seminary to help in preparing the ground for the construction of an apartment complex.
I think the team will rest well tonight, they are tired. Rusty fell asleep at the table in the restaurant.
