<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Greetings Mission friends. Nov
29<sup>th</sup> 2008<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'> We are back from Machaquila, Guatemala. Our trip was very
interesting and productive. God continues to bless as we make plans to go
forward.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'> The project at Gods Helping Hands is very much under way. There
are several workers there now putting up walls, bond beams etc. There will be
plenty for us to do. Something very interesting happened when Eric and I
arrived. Word spread about our arrival. The guard said that many people had already
lined up for medical and dental care. They were very disappointed when the
guard told them they had to wait till Feb.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'> I can only share a few things with you now. I want to encourage
<u>everyone </u>to be at the Dec 6<sup>th</sup> meeting. 5 pm we will start our
meeting. There will be food and lots of info to share. Guatemala is completely different
then any other country we have visited. You will love it.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'> First there is not a lot of places to exchange money. I
brought back some Quetzals to exchange for you. The rate is 7.5 Quetzals to 1
US Dollar. Bring some cash with you to the meeting. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'> Everyone has to get there money in. Some have given a
deposit of 250.00. The total of the trip is 1380.00, for those traveling from
the Berkshire Hills Church. Those flying out of different parts of the Country
will cost more. Eric has already purchased those tickets and knows how much
extra you will need. I would ask that everyone have at least $1000.00 by the
end of next week. 200.00 more by the end of Dec and the balance by the 3<sup>rd</sup>
week of JAN<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'> As far as shots for the trip I would check with your local
travel clinic and your Doctor. I would recommend Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B and Tetanus,
Diphtheria, Pertussis (TDAP) is mandatory.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'> All applications should be in NOW. If you did not get receive
one please get in touch with me right away.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'> We have some neat things to share with you at the meeting. Some
great pictures of the work sites, Myan village, Tikal, flowers, monkeys, and
much more. One of the things that I am worried about is the small amount of
donations I have received. I can only pray that you would help and sponsor Bibles,
Med pacs, literature, medicine and the general fund to make this happen. I have
hired 2 Bible workers to help prepare the area for our arrival. They are good
at what they do; they will start Jan 1 and work till we are done. They charge
200.00 per month per worker. You all have been so responsible in the past. I
hope that you will consider our needs. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'> See you all soon. Bring a friend to the meeting or just
come to visit.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>God Bless you all<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Sincerely<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
