Winding Down

Well, we are back at the Arkansas House winding down from the week. The week that has really been the fastest week imaginable. Tonight we had a time of sharing and it was amazing to hear from everyone how God has moved in their individual lives this week.

I have really been blessed to get to spend the week with such amazing people. I was fired up from the get go cause Daniel and Rachel were going. Dan rocks my face and to is so cool to have get to see him mature in the Lord like he has. Not to sounds haughty, cause I watching him, most of that time was spent maturing in the same ways. But I know God is working in and through him, giving him a ministry at Crossroads. Still it's is a blessing to get to see so much of him since he's been out at UNA. And Rachel... well she just rocks my world 24/7 and there's no two ways about it. To see a girl still fresh in college so sold out for God, it's too rare these days but so beautiful.

But they're not the only ones. Brother John is great. I don't know what he'd got pumping through his engine, but if I can keep half his pace when I'm 65, I'll count myself truly blessed. And Melissa Archer, now she's awesome. Now I love my momma and I'll fight anyone that says she's less than the greatest mother of all time. But if we're casting votes for silvers and bronzes, I'd say she had a good chance of being up there. It's also been great getting to know everyone else. Now I've not know Greg for a long time, but from what I've gathered these last few days, I am a fan. His boys are lucky to have a dad like him. But as for the Creels, Randy, and Kathy, it seems like I've known them for ages, but Ive really enjoyed actually getting to know them. I feel like I'm cheating them listing them all together, but they're definitely a big part of the church family at Enon and are really true representatives of what the Great Commission is all about.

And if there is anyone from our church that gets to read this. Thank you so much for the opportunity to come and for all you're prayers. God has used them to make a world of difference in our lives and in the lives of so many here in Guatemala. You'd better be here next year.

I probably will not have too much to add to Saturday or Sunday. I'm praying that I'll have an internet connection, but it is definitely not at the top of the list as far as prayers go.

I love you all. Grace and peace,

- Doug
