Saturday Morning

..........I'm On My Way...

.

Wow, 3 in the morning is very, very early! I was really glad Miss Martha had me in my sleeping bag on her back, but I woke up fast with all the fun going on. It was like getting up early to go on a BIG ADVENTURE - lot's of excitement with loading suitcases filled with coloring books and crayons and toys for all our friends in Guatemala.

.

Pastor Phillip gathered us all together to pray and ask God to bless us and protect us on our trip so that we would be a big blessing to lots of people where we're going. Then we left for the airport. You know, it's not everyday a Gator gets to fly! We're flying through Miami, Florida, and I know I have lots of cousin-gators down there, but we won't stop long before our next airplane ride to Central America.

.

When we get there, we'll go way up into the mountains to...do you remember? Yes - Chichicastenango! On Sunday morning, we're going to church where we'll sing and worship the Lord just like we do here, but only in Spanish. Gloria Adios means "Praise the Lord", so I am sure we will say that a lot.

.

Now, I really ask you to be praying for us every day. We are going to be visiting a lot of people to tell them how much Jesus loves them. It's the best thing in the world to do! So, I'll be sending another note soon about all our great adventures.

.

God bless you bunches!

Ola amigos de Guatemala!

Guess what??? If you are here you know my good news - I’m going back to Guatemala Saturday the 9th of May! Like I told you this weekend — I’ve already packed my backpack and checked my Passport for my THIRD trip to Chichicastenango.

I want you guys to be praying for me. Remember last year I got really sunburned? This year, I am packing extra gator sunscreen.

I am going to see lots of new children this year when I go to a local school. I think I am going to be a cowgator because we are doing an American western skit. Wow – I wonder if that 10-gallon hat will be too big for me?? You’ll be able to see ‘cause we’ll take lots of pictures and send back to you on this BLOG.

Please write to me. I am going to miss everyone here, but I’m so exited to go back to Iguana-land!

Adios Amigos!
Blessings, Gozer

There's No Place like Swamp.

GOZER HERE
Well I am finally back to my home town swamp. What a great missions trip that was. We were able to tell alot of people about Jesus. We put a roof on a house for a family, made a picnic area for some people that are still working at teaching Gods word, we carried a 400 lb pela (whick is a big sink) up a hill and that was hard work, my gator paws were real tired after that. I made a bunch of new friends and I think we should still keep praying for them. I can't wait to see you soon and tell you all about it

GOZERS OUT

Gozer here,

Well, just like I said yesterday there were lots of kids. I made so many new friends today I can’t even count them all. One of my friends, named Billy, and I taught the children about Jesus and how good it is to have Him in your heart. After that we played and colored and even blew some bubbles. It was a great day. I can’t wait to see what happens tomorrow.Well, I’m going to get some rest now.

It’s been a busy day and I need a nap.

Bye.

Am I ever tired!

Gozer here!

Am I ever tired. Since I live in the swamp they asked me to get the water for the concrete we poured today. Now that’s hard work! I also got to hammer my first nail when we helped put a new roof on a friend’s home. I got to meet lots of new friends in the hospital and they sure could use your prayers.

Tomorrow I’m going to get to meet lots of new friends from the villages around Chichi-cas-tango-tango (or whatever). The boys and girls are coming to our house and we’re going to give them some gifts and some milk.

I shall try and get some sleep so I can bless more people in Jesus’ name tomorrow.

Your friend, GOZER

Hello from Gozer!

I am having a great time have flown on 2 airplanes, and a van for 6 hours. This place is a pretty as I remember it. The beautiful high mountains. I am over a mile high in the mountains. I got to go worship at church with my new friends here in ChiChi. I even saw myself on TV here at our hotel.

I am helping do some construction projects. We are making a floor for my friends to have a place to eat at lunch time.

I really like the food here. I may be an alligator but I am eating like a pig. It rains here almost everyday this time of year. They call it the rainy season and that is the truth.

Blessings and keep praying for me. I will have lots of stories to tell you when I return.

Love, Gozer

Hey boys and girls.

We made is safely to Miami - next stop Guatemala!! Can you believe they made me wake up at 2:30am this morning.

They will be checking my passport soon so that I can board the plane to Guatemala. We will be landing in Guatemala City, which is the capital of Guatemala, but the trip isn't over yet.

Once we get to Guatemala City, we will hop on a van for 4 hours to ChiChi. Wow - that is a long time in a van. I sure hope they have a good movie playing. We will spend most of our time in ChiChi.

Please check back with us soon to see how things are going.

May God bless you...Gozer
