Hey Dawnie and my beautiful daughters,
We got a lot done today. Marcia posted some pictures of the construction, you can click on “pictures” right from this page.
Way to go Melinda on memorizing that verse! Maybe you can make Grandpa a pilot for his plane with the clay you received as a reward.
There is a team from Rockford her now, they will be doing there final devotional tonight so if you feel led you can pray for them. I think we might be joining them but I’m not sure.
I love you all very much! XOXOXO.
Shannon
Hi Shannon,
Glad you made it safe and ready to work. I have a little job for you or your dad when you get back:) The family that Mary and I went to visit came to church Sunday. They are looking for a set of bunk beds. I wondered if you would like to build one. I didn’t commit you yet–LOL! I’m praying for you that God’s will be done through you guys.
Judy,
Thanks for praying. We are making good progress. Yesterday someone posted pictures but I don’t think they did today.
We will check out the bunkbed project when I get home.
Shannon
Hello Dawnie,
How’s it going? Let me know how Lizzy’s game turned out. Making good progress, working about 11 hours each day. I love you and all my precious daughters.
Shannon
Shannon, I hope that you remember who I am (Scott Wesseldyke) but I saw your name and I thought that I would say hello and assure you that I will be holding you and your team up with prayers. It was great being together with you in La Bendición and I hope that your team works very well together.
Dios te bendiga, Scott
Hey Shannon! All is well on the western front. We got snow all day yesterday and I kept praying that it would stop….seeing that you never taught me how to use the snowblower:( Not that I want to learn.:) Lizzy’s game was a heartbreaker. They lost 36-31. They trailed by 10-14 pts. most of the time. We were flat and just could not make a basket. Big Bummer. With 4 minutes left….our team showed up and we just ran out of time. Lizzy played decent. She had 4 or6 pts. I am not sure which. She had probably 6 baskets that were halfway in the hoop and somehow popped out. That’s the way it goes!!! Today is a new day!
We are doing well at home. I am managing to keepthe fire going if you can believe that. Tonight will be nice because we only have practices to juggle. Jac tried High jump and her back muscles are very sore. She said that it went good though.
We will continue to pray. Are you getting outside the home base at all? I love you Shannon Overbeek and can’t wait until you get home. Enjoy your time away! Dawn
Scott,
Thanks for the encouragement. The construction is going well, these apartments really change the look inside of the base. Oh, by the way, OF COURSE I REMEMBER YOU!!!!!!!!
Your brother,
Shannon
Dawnie and girls,
Another big day of work, we are making good progress. Tomorrow a bunch of people who have been visiting orphanages are going home along with Heidi and their kids so it will be just the construction crew and Dan Smith left. Elizabeth and Veronica, remember the oldest daughter (Paulina) from the house we built at LaBendicion, she is working for Paradise Bound at the mission base!
Let me know how the basketball game goes tomorrow. Thanks for praying, I am praying for you all too.
Love,
Dad
Hey Shannon!
I can’t believe you went down to Guate without me!! Work hard and be safe. You know that one apartment is for Erin, so make it look sweet:) We’ll be praying for you as you use your gifts for Paradise Bound Ministries.
Hey Babe! The girls wanted you to tell Paulina that they said Hi! They were excited to hear that she was working for Paradise. So you guys should get some serious work done this later part of the week…..
Tell Ron that all of us said hi. The girls also wanted you to tell him not to put the nails in his mouth…lol. Looking forward to seeing you. I will post how the game goes later tonight. Melinda wants to know what time you have to get up and what time you have to go to bed. Dawn
SHANNON!
i can’t believe you are down in guate right now – i am soooo jealous!
anyways, say hi to everyone and take care of everyone for me! have LOTS OF FUN, like i know you will, and work hard! you know, those are apartments you are working on are for 3 pretty amazing girls (if i do say so myself), so don’t screw them up! no pressure though…
Shannon,
Trust all is well there with the construction. Praying for you, Ron, and the team, and now for Heidi’s safe arrival back to Michigan. Please tell Hermano Jesus I said “Hola” and I look forward to see him in June.
Hello girls,
I’m glad to hear all is going well at home. In answer to Melinda’s question we get up around 6:30, start working around 7:15, quit tonite at 7 and we will probably go to bed about 10:00. The one apartment we are working on (the one that Erin V.O. will stay in) looks really bad, hopefully the walls stay standing and I know for sure all of the plumbing runs backwards but I’m sure she will be happy!
Well good nite, I love you. See you tomorrow. Good nite, I love you. See you tomorrow
Hi Shannon!
I was in Guatemala last week doing some welding! Hope that your week is going well. I talked with Brian K. this morning on the phone. He is planning on coming there next week and is bringing 5 more 2lb spools of solid mig wire. Don’t know if you need more but just thought I would let you know what is on the way. Praying that your group has a good week ! Blessings to you! Glory to God!
Tom
Hey Babe! Lizzy’s team beat Zeeland East tonight! 49-33. Had 20 pt. lead mid third quarter so the whole team got to play. Lizzy had about 10-12 pts. Snapped two sweet jumpers just inside the three pt. line. She played really well. Sat most of the 4th quarter. Glad to hear that you are getting lots done….hopefully most people that read this know your humor regarding the status of the apt. I know you and your dad would never let anything not be “plumb”. (I think that is the correct work?!?) Love you and enjoy yourself. Dawn
Hey Uncle Shannon,
How are you? I am good. we won your first basketball game on Monday. the scole was 20 to 14. Nobody in about 10 years bet that team. The team was Three Rivers. How is Grandpa? I pray for you guys everyday. Tell grandpa we said hi. Grandpa is in 2 of those pictures.
Love Ya, Kelsey :^)
Kelsey,
Congratulations on your basketball win! Grandpa is doing fine. Thanks for praying for us. We will show you some pictures when we get back. There are a few pictures on this site already. See you later.
Uncle Shannon
Tom,
Your welding work looked great. That walkway around the perimeter is going to be real nice. We have all the framing, rough plumbing, rough electrical, drywall is hung and will be close to being completely mudded before we leave. We have been doing a little more welding but I have no idea how much wire they used. Thanks for praying. HE is FAITHFUL.
Shannon
Dawn,
How is the love of my life doing? And how about those daughters of ours? Are they behaving? LOL!! Another half a day of work left, I think we will take tomorrow afternoon off. Dad ended up on a different return flight and will not get into Detroit till 10:50 Sunday night so unless we can get it changed at the airport we will not be back home till after midnight.
Can’t wait to see you all again!
Love,
Dad, Shannon
The girls are doing great! We are looking forward to your return! Be safe! You will have to find a tv and watch the Super bowl in the airport while you wait for Ron! Bummer! Love you! Dawn
Melinda won her soccer game6-2. She scored two goals which was very exciting. Solid shots on goal! You would have been proud and her smile was priceless!!!! Than she had a bball game also. She played really well…scored but I did not keep track. They lost by 2 pts. BUmmer!!!! Jac is at a Science olympiad tournament today at TK. Looking forward to giving you several overdue hugs. Love you!
My precious ladies,
Congratulations Melinda. Wish I could’ve been at your games.
Wish I could be with you all tomorrow for the meeting of the church.
I will call you when I get to Dallas or for sure Detroit. Should I wake everyone up for hugs when I get home?
Love you all, see you soon.
Dad

Jac says “Sure”, Veronica says “NO!!!!!!”, Melinda will love it, Lizzy’s not here to ask?! And do I have a choice???? Love you!
Very funny, Shannon! You’re almost as bad as Dan…he insists on painting the apartment PINK even though it is my least favorite color!
I hope your week was incredible and that you have a safe trip home today! You’re in my prayers as you travel.
Hope to see you and hear all of the stories of your great experiences sometime soon!
