Heather was able to have a great two weeks with her grandfather. Eli, Abi and Zoe were able to play games with him and celebrate their 5th birthday with him. He passed away about a week after Heather and the kids returned home to Guatemala. Heather was able to share Christ with Poppy many times and tell him that he cannot "ride the fence" when it comes to God. Unfortunately his response was one of "well if I haven't done enough to get to heaven yet then I won't be going because I can't do more." He couldn't understand that he didn't need to do anything to recieve eternal life from God. It is his free gift to us through faith in Jesus so we can be reconciled to Him through Christ's payment. We pray that during his final moments he was able to understand God's grace and acknowledge that there is nothing he could do to earn God's love. We place him in the loving hands of God knowing that He loved Poppy even more than we did. He was a kind old man who was liked by all who met him and loved by all who knew him.
Heather was also able to see her best friend Holly and visit with her dad and grandmother (GG) on her father's side.
