Family Stuff!

Here we are in September and all I can say is, "Where did the summer go?"  All those wonderful plans we had--what happened to those!

Here are some things that happened this summer:

Hurricane Agatha














We have a lot of things on here about our ministry after the hurricane.  This has been a bad rainy season!  The worst in years.  The result has been mudslides, washed out roads and bridges, injuries, and even death.  Please pray for Guatemala as they dig out of it all.


Alicia turned 16!  We had an '80s birthday party for her and it was so much fun!

Alicia's party













I just doesn't seem possible!  But, she's 16 and in about a year and a half, she'll be graduating from high school and heading out on her own.  Pray for her parents!!!!!  Pray for God's direction for Alicia and that she would clearly hear His voice.


Then there was the usual--Alicia had surgery, Christopher broke his arm, immigration stuff--God was faithful in every situation and we are so blessed!

Now, something new!  Anyone who knows me, knows how passionate I am about our kids!  I love our kids!  I love teaching them and watching them grow and learn.  They have been blessed recently with great missionary friends who are the same ages as them and are also being homeschooled.  So great and a huge answer to prayer for us!  In response to this, we've started a learning co-op at our church here in Antigua where they learn science, music, art, and mayan weaving.  They also get to hang out with friends and build relationships.  So important!  Here are some pictures of our first day of ministry to missionary kids and moms!

Such a great opportunity!  Our kids are blessed and so is our family!
