Heartfelt thanks to CRI for being such a great host and for providing our team with an unforgettable experience. A special thank you to Otto for helping us make all the arrangements and for accompanying us to San Juan. We are also grateful to Mingo for driving us everywhere and navigating the narrow, congested roads – you handled it like a Pro! Lastly, thank you to Willie for teaching the guys how to construct and install the wood stoves. We appreciate all the work you did with us!
Mission Team – February 12th-18th
Thomas Clack, Scott and Rebekah Lamb, Karla Jordan, Karvin Adams, Pastor Kevin & Alesa Sims, and Lou Ann Rector
We had a great trip to Guatemala last month. Our team of 8 held babies, made rice packs and food bags, installed 3 stoves, visited our students, and took lots of pictures!

Friday Afternoon
We prepared 320 bags of fortified rice and then went to Walmart to purchase cooking oil, black beans, cornmeal, pasta, eggs, and sugar to make 10 food bags. The food was distributed to our churches in Santa Maria and San Juan so the pastors could share it with the poorest members of their congregations.

Friday Evening
We shared a meal with our students, the Lopez boys, and their aunt, Josie. The boys had a great time playing soccer with Thomas.
Saturday Morning – Traveled to San Juan
It took us nearly five hours to travel to San Juan, with the final part of the trip on a narrow, winding road. This is definitely not my favorite part of the trip!
