Instituto Teológico Latinoamericano

I arrived in Guatemala City yesterday (Friday, October 23) around 11:30 a.m. after an agreeable flight from Oklahoma City via Houston. The flight from Houston was full; full enough, in fact, that before we left, the airline asked for volunteers to take a later flight. We were offered a first class seat on the later flight plus a $500 travel voucher. I think the next time I find myself in that situation, I will volunteer.

I was met at the airport in Guatemala City by Hiwatthia Jones, one of the missionaries who works with the school here. I spent the afternoon touring the facility (and I must say the Lord has blessed the brethren with a very nice facility), unpacking and getting some rest. I enjoyed lunch and dinner with the student body and staff. My first night was restful; I slept well in spite of the new surroundings, which often means I do not sleep well.

I will try to post a report of my activities each day while I am here. Unfortunately, I will not have this access to the internet the next week in Honduras, at least as far as I know at this point.

More later and God bless,

Donnie Bates
