The Mission Field
Our six day sail from Islamorada, Florida to the Rio Dulce, Guatemala.
Arriving Water Caye across from Marsh Harbor the sun has set in brilliance. The glory of God is seen in the sky changing as each minute passes til the stars come out and light up the heavens. We have arrived to the sea of Abaco all intact.
The wind is blowing, Viento Azul is rocking and rolling! Making way through the 9 o'clock Snake Creek draw bride as it is raising up to open our entrance into the sea in the Florida Keys. Stowing the last minute items, while making last repairs the wind continues blowing 25 knots, stirring the sea into milky white. We are motoring out the channel though the waves head on until we are able to make a point of sail! Many a thank you we send out to our chase boat with Jeff, Christi and our son Trevor for such a loving departure and picking up Captain Steve our friend and partner and to all who has been lending their hands to aid in the success of this mission .
We are excited about the endless possibilities that become available when you step out in faith. The mystery of what lays ahead is an exciting adventure with endless opportunities to grow in your faith.
Ted and I have been in Guatemala for a month now. Many changes are taking place at the house and we are working hard to complete the many tasks before us. Currently, we are expecting Josh and Jamie Stoneman any day now with a crew of 11 to serve at Casa Agua Azul. I would like to share with you some of the inner stories of the house and we ask for your continued prayers for our children, our staff and the inner workings that come with caring for abused children.
Starting the day with sunny and clear skies. Sailing Vessel Veintos Azul departs Islamorada through Snake Creek Bridge at 11a.m. Sorry to all who were held up in traffic, but it was for a good cause! The winds are light out of the east 10 -12 knots. Four souls on board: James, Steve, Ted and Gail.
