Day 2 - WOW! Was God at Work Today

From the very first trip I made down here with Bill Seely 6 years ago, I learned to not try to predict what God has in store for us.  We were ready to be picked up this morning to start work with our first group of kids only to find out that they had cancelled on us for today.  However, we were going to be working with a group tonight and every night this week.  So we stopped right there and prayed for God to show us what he would have us do.  We were informed that we would be working with an elementary school in the mornings for the rest of the week.  Cristobal came back to pick us up this afternoon and we went to Chimaltenango and worked with about 30 kids.  We used the video Jeff made and it was wonderful.  We were informed that our contact in Chimaltenango had a friend at the local television station for the state of Chimaltenango and that they were coming to get a copy of Jeff's video and show it on television.  When they heard we were there working with the kids today they sent a crew and interviewed us for their station tonight.  They asked if other kids could join us for the rest of the week.  So they allowed us to invite them during the interview.  This video and the interview just went out on television to the entire state of Chimaltenango which is about 400,000 people of which they told us an estimated 100,000 people would view this interview and video.  We may have just a few more kids tomorrow.  We started out this morning hoping our week wasn't getting cancelled completely and God opened the floodgates.  He is truly amazing!
