It’s the last day in November and I’m thinking about how thankful I am to be here in Guatemala and how just a couple of years ago we were still paying off student loans and a car but were praying that God would move and would help us get to Guatemala by 2016. God moved, transmission went out on one vehicle and I totaled the other car. He tested us and allowed some trials but after we came through them, God provided us with blessings. A car was given to us, Whitney got a new job, I got a bunch of overtime, and we met the Dechats.
Pete and Judy Dechat became supporters of #sendthesaultons even before we had the catchy hashtag. They became supporters the night we met them. I was catering a charity event for Safe Haven Village and Pete introduced himself to me and gave me a check because he knew that God was calling us to Guatemala and he and his wife wanted to help us get there.
Before we met Pete & Judy, they had been to Hope of Life and had been praying about remodeling the kitchen at the elderly home and praying that a chef would move to Guatemala and help to ensure that the food quality is always improving, that the proper equipment is bought, and that it is all well maintained. So while they were praying for a chef and I was praying for a call, God was moving and connecting us.
Since then, I’ve been able to help cater a wedding for some of Pete’s family, cook dinner for them, borrowed their truck several times, and got to know them better by enjoying some quality double dates!
Pete and Judy’s hearts are very much connected to supporting missionaries like us and others and Whitney and I are incredibly thankful for them!
Wanted to post a picture of a couple of Pete and Judy’s favorites from the elderly home. Hipolito & Gladis.
Thank you Pete and Judy!
