Do you ever have a day when if doesn't go as planned but you can tell God has a btter plan? I wanted to write about my day Saturday before the details start to slip my mind. I will not post it right away since I would like to share with Dan some of these things first but I will have it written and ready when I feel the Lord’s timing.

Dan left for the lake very early and I was left home alone on the campus for the entire day. I had told Eby earlier in the week that I would come to see her Saturday and she promised to be there. When I was getting ready to leave the house I prayed. “God I would really like a ride to town so I don’t have to take the bus with the 4 kids.” I just knew God would bring me something. We walked out our door and there was Carmen’s husband, daughter and Granddaughter getting ready to leave for town an they offered to take us. Another answer to prayer we can add to our prayer list. When we got to the market Eby was not there. I tried calling and no answer. I thought maybe she was running really late so I walked to another part of town and came back. While I was walking. I started to think, “ God I should give my stroller away to someone.” 15 seconds later I walked by a store where inside people were looking at buying a stroller like mine for 1000Q. Yikes. I said, “I have a stroller that you can have if you come and get it.” I also told I felt God had just told me to give my stroller away. Jessica took me up on my offer and I got the sense from her she was no a believer. She is here trying to adopt a baby but the whole adoption process in Guatemala is a mess. That whole story is for another blog.

When I got back to the Market Eby still was not there. I was very disappointed since I had plans to take her out for lunch and spend the day with her but she wasn’t there and I got no answer on her phone or Juan’s. So the kids and I sat and discussed what we should do and it was decided to eat at Burger King and have Ice Cream after at McDonald’s. When we finished eating and playing on the play ground I walked out of McDonalds fully intending to go catch the bus but there was a tuk tuk right there and although I never take them since they cost 3 times as much I just flagged him down and hopped in. The whole time thinking I was being lazy and should of done the bus. Then the driver went some really odd back way to my house making me scared for a few moments but I got home safely. I wasn’t home more then 5 minutes when I got a knock at the door. It was Luis Carlos, his wife and twin daughters. They had come to visit for 2 reason. I have been trying to help them find a house to rent here in San Pedro and his wife wanted to look at the one house that Luis and I had seen a few weeks early. It is the home Danny and Daphne Foote are renting. I called them to see if they were home for us to come take a quick peak. They were just about the leave so we hurried over. Luis and his wife loved the house and have decided to rent it in July when the Foote’s leave. Also while Luis was there he gave Danny his business card. On the card it said in Spanish that he was a legal English to Spanish translator. Danny didn’t think much of it but that afternoon he was told from a friend that he would need a legal English to Spanish translator to apply for their long term visas. Danny knew right away that Luis was the Man for that job.

The other reasons for them coming to visit was to invite Dan and I to come work with Luis in his ministry here in Guatemala. Luis works with Mission Impact

After Luis left Jessica came to pick the stroller up. I made sure to tell her God has told me to give her my stroller and that I prayed it would be a blessing to her. Come to find out she is from the same town as Jeff Sprecher the director of Missions Impact. They plan on having her over for dinner next week and I am praying God will use them to speak the truth of Gods word to her as well.

Come to find out Eby did come to the market Saturday at 12:30pm. I left at 12:15 but for reasons only God knows He had me go home so I could be there for Luis and family, the Foote’s and Jessica. I would of missed all those great things if my day had gone according to plan.
