Our First Guest

The other night we had our very first overnight guest, a fellow employee named Eleuterio. Him and others have long commutes to the office here, so Kallie and I have offered our extra room as a place to stay when they need to start work early or end late.

We enjoyed getting to know Eleuterio better. He has a wife, eight kids and lives in a community that has no running water except for rainwater collected from rooftops. When we asked what he did in his free-time on the weekends he said that he was a "local missionary" in his community. What a great way to think of ones self. Then, before we went to bed, he asked to pray for us and our new work in Guatemala.

Eleuterio meets with families everyday, often ones with kids that are suffering from malnutrition. He said he likes working for Food for the Hungry because he can talk with families everyday about God and about how their children can grow healthier (at least something close to that, remember all of our conversations were in Spanish).

Eleuterio is the guy sitting on the left. This picture was taken on our office fun day. We went to a park which included a barbeque, devotionals, soccer, swimming, and going down this crazy concrete water slide (definately would not pass safety regs in the states). And in case you didn't notice, I'm the guy in the middle.
