Not My Type

Typing Lessons 101* - Besides all the service projects that Haley and Molly are doing here in Guatemala, we are giving them the opportunity to take typing lessons. We're using the goodtyping.com format. So, every little bit of free time, they are practicing.

As soon as the girls get a handle on typing, then we can move on to more fun stuff.

We soon learned that the finger nails needed to be cut.

Thanks for praying for the girls and their exposure to missions. Yesterday and today, they've spent time helping with a Soccer Clinic up at Centennial Camp. They're having a blast and falling in love with the cute Guatemalan kids. You say "Soccer", and the Marshall girls shine!!!!

The girls arrived on Friday. Finally. We are now in Panajachel for several days of ministry with a Soccer team clinic and Tropical Storm Agatha clean up and Orphanage ministry in Xela (pronounced shay-la) The girls will be posting more when we return to the capital the end of the week. So check back often.

Right now, Sunday evening, they are practicing and getting oriented to the soccer clinic that will be held on Monday and Tuesday.

Guatemala City Airport Closed

Note: lava ash on the top of the 737

and ash on the wings

AA2195 was the last flight into Guatemala Aurora International Airport on Thursday night, arriving just after 7pm. Other flights were diverted to nearby San Salvador, El Salvador, just a 4 hour drive from here. All flights were canceled in and out of the Guatemala City airport on Friday, Saturday and now it looks like the airport will remain closed through Thursday as airport personnel continue the major clean up after the May 27th afternoon Pacaya Volcano eruption.

The big question is, "When will the Aurora airport re-open?"* We noticed that AA's flights are canceled through Monday. It is very important to sweep up all the lava ash off the runway. Its a tricky runway to begin with and ash would make it even more challenging as well as destructive to the engines.

*We got the call from AA and now Haley and Molly will be flying down on Friday, June 4th and will stay through June 21st.

Tropical Storm Agatha

Tropical Storm Agatha dumped buckets and buckets of rain over the past few days here in Guatemala. We are just beginning to acquire photos of all the damage.

Molly and Haley are still scheduled to fly down on Tuesday afternoon. As of now (Monday morning), the AA flight is still scheduled to fly (first flight into GUA since Thursday afternoon). It is always an adventure.

The Guatemala City Aurora International Airport is shut down for the 4th straight day in a row as the crew clears off truck loads of ash from the runway. Glenn read that as of yesterday, Sunday, there has been estimated 1,000 truck loads of ash hauled away with 300 workers working 24/7.
