This blog is a bit late in posting as we’ve been experiencing problems with the internet. Sorry about that!
It has been a busy and different week for us. We were only in language school for two days last week before taking a break to do some other training. Shelley began her finance/accounting training and David spent the four days at the seminary in a regional conference for Youth Leaders. It was time well spent. The kids were out of school on Friday for Independence Day, so we enjoyed a meal with friends at Pizza Hut, a new restaurant for us here in San Cristobal. And yes, it tastes just like home!

We had the opportunity to have a visitor in our home from Thursday until Sunday. We met little Elisa, age 8, in Mexico while working there with One Heart, Many Hands. Her mother is a leader in the church there and they came down to Guatemala for the same training that David is involved with, so we agreed to keep her daughter for a few days so she could focus on her training. Elisa speaks no English, and Kayley speaks little Spanish, so let’s just say Mom had plenty of opportunity to practice translating this weekend.
Now the bad news. Kayley became ill on Saturday night (why these things always seem to happen in the middle of the night is beyond me, but it’s true!) with a high fever, headache and stomachache. We know now it’s just a virus and thankfully Kayley has recovered and will be returning to school tomorrow (Wednesday).
David and Shelley are preparing for another exam in language school sometime this week or the beginning of next. Looking forward to the day when the stress of exams is behind us and we can concentrate on applying even more of what we’ve learned.
The kids are excited to have a short school week since the teachers have in-service on Thursday afternoon and Friday. (Really short for Kayley, only a day and a half!)
Prayer Requests:
Pray for good health. As the weather begins to cool here just a little, many people get colds and it looks like we’re no exception.
Pray for Shelley as she tries to grasp accounting concepts in a foreign language.
Pray for David’s new assignment working with Youth Leaders in Panama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua.
Pray for the kids as they are learning the importance of keeping organized with their studies.
Thanks for everything! We appreciate you all and God bless your week.
