After weeks of searching, our good friends in Guatemala found us a moving company. We were getting worried that we would have to sell all of our stuff, if we didn't find something soon. Moving day arrived.... so did a massive 18 wheeler...the big deal? The town we live in is very small, with very low power lines....!!!
To make a long story short, as the truck rode into town he took the power lines with him for a ride!!!!! I don't know how he did it, but he managed to dodge the angry mob, and pull up to our house. As the driver breathed a sigh of relief, a passer-by told him he should make the u-turn up the road a bit.....bad idea. He got stuck, holding up traffic during rush hour, taking out a drive-way, coffee plantation, and a sidewalk that was in pretty bad shape anyway, in an attempt to make a u-turn (He eventually made the u-turn). As the day went on he told Katherine that they held him up in Nicaragua for three days, she felt sorry for him and offered him some dinner, our dear Ruth, as always, has the ability to make a bad day seem good, she encouraged him, and sent him on his way smiling. The moral of the story, our driver experienced two sides. The angry mob wanted blood, and we on the other hand, understood its was nobody's fault. Katherine and Ruth showed him patience, love and compassion, all in the effort to show Christ to him. Hopefully he arrives tomorrow to Guatemala with our stuff, and hopefully he had time to think about letting the Lord work in his life. In either case we always have to be aware of our actions, you never know when the opportunity will present itself to minister to someone.
