Children's Church

Hi Everyone!

This is Sunday and our church here is the Zona Seis Iglesia Del Nazareno (Zone Six Church of the Nazarene). The kids are still getting used to going to Children's church by themselves as they have a hard time understanding the lesson, but as long as one of us parents goes along, they feel comfortable. This picture is of Kayley with some of her new friends in Children's Church. Her best buddy is Maria, the girl to Kayley's left. Maria finds Kayley every Sunday and does her best to take care of her and show her what to do. The kids are learning Spanish, but it's more slowly than mom and dad since they are in an english speaking environment all day. Joshua has learned some useful phrases and can hold a short conversation with the other kids at church.

Good News! David and Shelley passed their exams for level C this week and so it's onward and upward to Level D. Our studying will be interrupted a little bit the week of Easter. That week is called Semana Santa (holy week) and many people travel to Antigua to view the "processions." It takes around 80 people to carry a specially made platform that carries a statue of Jesus. Sometimes the processions take many hours to complete. This is an old Catholic church tradition. Because of the festivities in Antigua, we will only study for 2 or maybe 3 days that week. I've heard that 40,000 enter the small town for that weekend. That week is also the children's spring break week, so they may be taking some spanish classes in Antigua with us for those few days.

We are thankful for another good week and for so many family and friends. God bless,

The Webb Family
