I met Jim Jennings with Conscience International in Atlanta and headed to Guatemala City to begin an assessment on the Fuego eruption. This is the first time Jim and I have worked in the field together. I am very excited about this opportunity. I’m usually solo. We met Russ and Vickie who are missionaries here at a hospital about 10 hours from the city. They will be working with us while here. Once we left the airport we headed to Escuintla a small town where there are staging areas for shelter, food, clothing and medical assistance. Russ introduced us to a doctor named Kenny who runs a social clinic for the desperate called Clinicas Vida. He took us to the distribution areas, a field clinic and a shelter of 1200 displaced people. Tomorrow we will try to approach ground zero. Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
