July 6-10
I arrived in Guatemala on Saturday totally exhausted. The last couple of months have been brutally busy. The one and only purpose for this trip is to finally get this land gig squared away. Doctor Kenny called me last week and told me all the papers were ready and there would be no issued this time. So I scrambled to get a ticket and headed south. We have a scheduled appointment on Monday at 10:00 AM to sign papers for the land purchase. I chilled today and caught up on some much needed rest. I got up Sunday morning and went to church with Doc Kenny and Maco. After church we did a little driving around towards Antigua to look at some potential places for teams to stay in the future. On Monday we all meet at the Puertas’s house with the lawyer, the land owner and proceeded to chicken scratch signatures. Six months of trying to put all this together and it took like 5 minutes to ink the deal. The next two days I stayed with the Puertas’s (this is the rancher dude I meet on the plane).There is know way we could have done this without their help. They have spent their personal money on so many little fees so the deal could keep moving. As Victor says, this is out contribution to the project. They are 100% behind this housing project. He will also be very beneficial on the amenities to the land. He has many high profile Guatemalans friends whom he says will help keep some of the cost down. Without this Guatemalan team that I have been blessed to assemble, this project would have at least been twice as much. It was great hanging with the family and getting to know each other better. They have been so good to me. Now the real work starts. We have a lady who is involved with the Fuego refugees doing social work who has volunteered to do the case work and interviews on the families to be candidates for re location to new homes. We actually have 7 homes committed to be built. That leaves 3 homes left to complete our goal of 10 homes. So, what are you waiting for. Dig deep and let’s get this $15000.00 raised and get er done. Three homes for 15 grand is a deal anywhere. Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

A nice glass of champagne from Spain to celebrate this long awaited day. The sellers, us and the Puertas’s. Many people worked very hard to get all the pieces of this puzzle put together.
