Last day at Eagles Nest

It is our last day at Eagles Nest. Today we will pack the Block Family into a truck and a bus and, if there is enough time, get a tour of their new facilities at the Village of Hope. They show no stress, though they are moving a family a 11, they are giving up a solid roof to live in a building with a plastic corrugated roof, they are beginning a completely new mission field, they are hosting our group of 14, and their van broke down yesterday. They are completely trusting God.I am the first one up. I've had my last cold shower here...and survived the widow maker (the electric shower head that is supposed to warm the water). It's really more like grabbing an electric fence. The coffee is not yet ready. It is another beautiful morning. It will probably rain again today, but there is no hint of that now. The flowers are in bloom all around the complex. Rising from the valley, I hear some Latin music, a distant truck meandering up a dirt road, dogs barking, roosters crowing...a town in a third world country waking up. Closer I hear bids chirping, our cooks holding a conversation in Spanish, and the filter of the pool clicking on and off. God is great! As we prepare to leave I am thinking of several words, phrases and names that we will never think of the same, will hold a special place in our hearts, anr/or will always remind us of our time together in Guatemala. In no particular order:Eagles Nest,Solola, Panajachel, Proverbs 24:12, Bein provecho (may it sit well with you), Estella, Missionary Family,Cancha (court), Tuktuk, Chicken bus,Soccer,Mercado (market), Haggle,Pineapple, Mango, Tres leches, Guats happening?, Lemonade con soda, Orphan, Parents, Village of Hope, Block Family, Giving up everything to heed Gods call, Signs Mafia sardines (games we played), Atitlan, Zip line, Rainy season, Manna, Little green pill, Americanos, Keegan, Kallan, Addisyn, Sydney, Todd & Amy, Adoption, AIDS, Hola, Buenos Dias, Widow maker, Chicken head/foot, Fish war, Journalling, Quentzales or "Q", Be the change, Adventure, "good price for you", con permiso (with permission), Juan Manuel, Dulce, Victoria, Chauto, Paula, Ever, Maria, Anita, Paola and others. Ask us about them when you see us! Now I also hear a group of orphans playing and the coffee is ready. Looking forward to what God has in store for us today! Bob
