When the unexpected makes you smile. After an uneventful trip to Antigua yesterday -everything went as planned and we arrived at the hotel around 8:30 last night. We stepped out of our hotel – Pasada La Merced – and only walked a few paces when we ran into Mario Morales and Nathan from Agros. Mario and his family had come to Antigua to dine with the Horencia Uno team before they fly back today.
What a “coincidence” to run into them within moments of our arrival. From this encounter we learned that the roads up to the Ixil are in good shape and the road to Cajixay is passable. Nathan’s team had to pass through Cajixay on their daily trek to Horencia Uno. This is great news for our end of the week plans. We had not expected to have knowledge of the roads until we got to Nebaj.
We also talked to Mario about Jordan helping out in January and he said “no problema” (typical Mario fashion) regarding having Agros staff give Jordan a ride to Nabaj.
It is good to be back in Antigua. We are excited to see how the Lord provides and leads us today, this week and during our month long stay in Guatemala.

That's crazy that you ran into Mario on your first steps out the door on your first full day there! It's exciting to hear that I've already got a ride to Nebaj in January! God is definitely working and providing. :)
