QUINCE
Today, September 15, is Guatemalan Independence Day, a special holiday often referred to as QUINCE (or "fifteen" in Spanish). Even though it has been raining here quite steadily over the past few days, it hasn't stopped the Guatemalan people from carrying out their traditions of parades, fireworks, and carrying torches through the streets like it's the Olympics. This country seriously knows how to celebrate! Here are a couple of pictures from Emanuel and Debora's school program last week. Felicidades!

Becoming Fools
Hey everyone!
The following is an email passed on to all Paradise Bound Ministry supporters, but I thought it was worthy of being posted here as well. Check it out!
"Dear Intercessors,
We are called upon to touch the lives of the least, and often the least will never be seen by any of us in our chaotic and busy lives. There are 6,000 to 10,000 street children living in Guatemala alone, with little or no voice to the outside world. Though our Lord has taken us to the remote and abandoned villages in Guatemala, our hearts are also with the children "living" without our Lord and thus without hope within the big cities. The makers of Reparando are venturing out once again to tell the story of a street clown and the "lives" of children in the streets of Guatemala City. Please follow the link http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/306542054/becoming-fools-a-documentary to understand a little more about "Becoming Fools" and if our Lord leads to help support this project. This is not a Paradise Bound venture, but our hearts are with the children that we pray this film will touch.
HIS servant,
dan & heid"
