Guatemala Avant Board Meetings

Glenn and I walked 1/2 mile up to Union Church. This was the church that John and Gail were ministering at for many years. It was good to fellowship with folks again.

We walked up Reforma to the DollarCity store to buy some more items. Then back to the Hotel.

Glenn went out to the airport as each group of board members arrived. The Soderlings and Gary E. arrived on the AA and DL flight around noon. He met and greeted them at exit and helped them get on the Barcelo shuttle service. We ate at the Sports Bar with them and had some great conversations. Mike Soderling is on the Avant board. He and his wife Chris lived here in Guatemala for about 10 years. Their son, Ian was valedictorian with our Gary’s CAG class 2007.

There were 3 more waves of Avant members that arrived at 7:00pm, 8:30pm and 10:00pm. Glenn was down at the airport to receive them. Then when the board members and spouses arrived here at the hotel, I greeted them with their Welcome Bag full of goodies, waterbottle.

I went to bed before Glenn came up to the room around 11pm. Oh, yes our room is 702. The corner room that looks out over towards the airport. This way I can watch the planes take off and land.

Notice the parking lot. How they stack the cars on top of each other.

My favorite quote I heard yesterday.

“Everybody is going somewhere, but nobody is going anywhere by accident.”Baca lagi
