From David — December 10th, 2005

God has blessed me with more work lately — I want you all to know I'm the new director of the 10th station, the second-busiest station in Guatemala City.

I know the congratulations are nice, but... it's a lot of work. Most of you know how it works here — we're in charge of keeping the station running: units, gas, equipment, training, facilities, and more. There's so much to do, and we get big ambulance and fire calls.

Our dream with the new crew is to make this station a model for the whole country — we need to improve everything: the station, education, training, units, kitchen, dorms, and more. I know many of you can help us reach these goals. Please start saving your next vacation to come to Guatemala and share time with our station — we need you, whether you bring training, equipment, or anything else you think could help. We even test once a month now, one for fire and one for ambulance — if you don't pass, you don't run in the units. We're training to be our best.

Please let me know you received this letter, and I can explain in more detail how you can help. For me, it's an honor and a privilege to be the director of this important station — pray for me, and I hope to hear from you soon.
