Basketball/Travel

Dear Family and Friends,

It's hard to believe we've been living in Guatemala for nearly three months. We are beginning to feel settled finally, especially since we seem to be feeling less ill and more healthy each week. This week Joshua struggled with a stomach bug, but he is well now and back to his old self. Basketball practices continued for both Josh and David, as David is assisting with the coaching of the middle school team. You can see David in the picture above coaching one the boys on freethrow shooting. They have their first games next weekend, so it will be an exciting time for all.

Kayley is enjoying school and is seen above outside her classroom door. There are eleven children in her class and she really enjoys her teacher. Kayley aspires to be a teacher one day, or maybe a "store person." She likes playing store, selling items and visiting with pretend customers.

We believe we have found an alternative to traveling outside of Guatemala every three months. It's not finalized yet, but we hope to hear in a few days that the process is completed and our visas have been extended- at least for now. We're thankful as the cost of travel and the time away from schooling is not something we were looking forward to.

David traveled today with Bernie Slingerland (head of evangelism for Mexico and Central America) to Coban, an area about 3 hours from Guatemala City, for a training workshop that Bernie led. They had a good time and the response to the workshop was very positive. David got to practice his spanish and enjoyed the drive as well. We're thankful they had a safe and easy trip.

David and Shelley will be taking their Level C exams this week, most likely on Wednesday. Thanks for your prayers as we strive to remember all we've studied in the last three months.

God bless your week.

Our Love,
The Webb Family
