Hola amigos!

So we finally got the blog to work here, so now you have the sweet luxury of finding out how we are. Pardon my typing, it´s a Spanish keyboard so it´s a little crazy. So we arrived here about 8:30 Wednesday morning and had an opportunity just to relax and get settled in, arriving safely
of course! We pretty much spent the afternoon sleeping, especially me because planes are the most uncomfortable sleep to try and fit 6´-5´body into without getting smoked on the head by people walking by. Yesterday was our first day at the baptist school they have here, and we each had the opportunity to help out and sit in on some classes. Tonight we have a 6 hour worship service we are attending and playing in, so we are pretty excited.

Last night, however, two of the five of us came down with some sickness, and then Kristen our team leader this morning as well. We werent quite sure what it was or is, so if you could pray for health that would be great. Phil is doing ok now, and Dan is still a little under the weather, and Kristen has it quite badly. We talkedf about it and it was strange how we talked last night about splitting the groups up and have Phil and Dan be the translators, and they were the first two to go down creating a problem for the ´language barrier´. Kristen then went down this morning, our team leader...so if you could also pray against the warfare that might be existing here as we do not believe this is coincidence. Ivan, the host here was very considerate and helped the sick ones out through drugs and he got a doctor as well, so it is amazing and we are blessed to have such a great host.

So, we still have a lot ahead of us, and if you could pray for health and safety througout the trip that would be wonderful. We are excited to continue on with things, especially the school we will go to every weekday morning. The language barrier is an obstacle, however the effort and the humility these people have is incredible. We will hopefully be able to continue to update somewhat regularly hoping it continues to work. Thanks fort your prayers and support and thougts already, as they are greatly appreciated! Blessings,

The Missions Team
