Another week has gone by here and we are beginning to realize that our time in Guatemala is coming to a close. We have about 9 weeks until we travel for the holidays and then on to Costa Rica. It will go by quickly.
We have been busy these last two weeks with regional training and Friday night we had a closing service to especially honor two families that are becoming regional missionaries. That means they are Latin Americans serving in Latin America. It was great to get to know the Bano family as they will be our neighbors in Costa Rica. He teaches at the seminary and she works in administration. The other family is the Soris family. They will be working in Guatemala with youth. And of course, there is Tessa. She has been serving as a volunteer missionary for over a year now and is work in the area of evangelism and church planting.
Our Training Team: The Soris', Tessa Philips, The Webbs, The Banos'
Today (Sunday) David had the privilege to talk by phone with the pastor of Central Church in Lenexa, KS during their church services. It was a great way to reconnect and share what has been happening here. Shelley and the kids went to church as usual, but the service was geared toward kids today, so Shelley led the music with the children and the Pastor gave a short Biblical message. It was great fun. By the end there were 17 kids and 9 adults in attendance. We think it’s a great start. And our prayer is that an adult Bible Study will develop as well.
Shelley begins this Friday to study more seriously her new position in finances. We would appreciate your prayers for her as this is uncharted territory. She has begun to understand the basics of accounting, but now needs to master the computer program.
This Saturday coming, a work and witness (testimonio y trabajo) team will arrive to work here for a week. The Armstrongs have asked us to assist them once again. We are so looking forward to it as we’ll work near Lake Amatitlan in planting a church and also do some construction on another church in the city. It will be a great break from language school. We are finding we need more and more of those as we get near the end.
Thanks for your prayers and have a wonderfully blessed week!
The Webbs
