Lava, we saw lava tonight.
It was 8 miles away but there it was in the dark night sky where the
volcano’s peak would normally be seen in daylight. This morning we took some pictures of the
plume of smoke billowing into the blue sky and went on to attend 4 hours of
Spanish classes. It wasn’t until later
that we learned of the evacuations and that this had made news in the USA. We even had an email warning from the US
embassy about the area. Lucky for us (
and bad for others) the wind is blowing it away from us and giving us the view
we had today.

| on our way to school |
Life in Antigua went on as usual... Saturday the 15th
is Independence day for Guatemala and the people are getting ready for
the festivities. Today many of
the young school kids were in parades this morning in celebration of their
country. So many smiling faces and many were
dressed in blue and white, the national colors, while others were in fancy
outfits and costumes. The parades will
continue tomorrow and end on Saturday with marching bands from the surrounding
areas coming through Antigua. I also
expect to hear lots of firecrackers this weekend.
As for us, we are adjusting to the pace here in
Antigua. We are learning Spanish and I
am excited to see the progress of everyone in our family. We are continuing to meet people and investigate opportunities
to serve. I have learning there are all kinds of things to do. We are praying for God’s guidance and
direction here and as we know he has prepared for us good works in which to
follow him. (Ephesians 2:10)
Fuego, the usually simmering volcano who erupted today,
reminds us that we cannot control everything.
That we are small, the volcanos are bigger, and God is even bigger. I am thankful
for the reminder of this truth.
I had an email from a friend who had heard about the evacuations and wondered if Charlie had been part of it. So glad y'all (and Charlie) are okay!!!
ReplyDeleteMy life is beautiful thanks to you, Mein Helfer. Lord Jesus in my life as a candle light in the darkness. You showed me the meaning of faith with your words. I know that even when I cried all day thinking about how to recover, you were not sleeping, you were dear to me. I contacted the herbal center Dr Itua, who lived in West Africa. A friend of mine here in Hamburg is also from Africa. She told me about African herbs but I was nervous. I am very afraid when it comes to Africa because I heard many terrible things about them because of my Christianity. god for direction, take a bold step and get in touch with him in the email and then move to WhatsApp, he asked me if I can come for treatment or I want a delivery, I told him I wanted to know him I buy ticket in 2 ways to Africa To meet Dr. Itua, I went there and I was speechless from the people I saw there. Patent, sick people. Itua is a god sent to the world, I told my pastor about what I am doing, Pastor Bill Scheer. We have a real battle beautifully with Spirit and Flesh. Adoration that same night. He prayed for me and asked me to lead. I spent 2 weeks and 2 days in Africa at Dr Itua Herbal Home. After the treatment, he asked me to meet his nurse for the HIV test when I did it. It was negative, I asked my friend to take me to another nearby hospital when I arrived, it was negative. I was overwhite with the result, but happy inside of me. We went with Dr. Itua, I thank him but I explain that I do not have enough to show him my appreciation, that he understands my situation, but I promise that he will testify about his good work. Thank God for my dear friend, Emma, I know I could be reading this now, I want to thank you. And many thanks to Dr. Itua Herbal Center. He gave me his calendar that I put on my wall in my house.
