Lots and lots of business meetings

Mission work is a lot of things, including addressing the business issues that only a personal touch can address. Over the last few days, the mission team leadership has been pulled into almost a dozen meetings to discuss everything from a financial request to build acquire electrical hook-ups for 4 of the 10 computes in Plan Basico (Junior High) that are essentially inoperative without them, to discussion on how our parish community in Houston can best connect spiritually with our brothers and sisters at Sagrado Corazon de Jesus (Sacred Heart of Jesus) in Santa Cruz del Quiche.

While these meetings are often taxing marathons that require immense grace and scheduling flexibility (there is that word again!).

Yet, we have accomplished so much as a result of the business side of the mission. Importantly, each meeting was a success in terms of continuing to build our relationship with those we serve.

Glory and praise to God!

More on this topic later, but here are some of the groups with which we met.
