We had a different schedule this week as we did not attend language school, but instead attended trainings at the Regional Office in order to be prepared for our work in Costa Rica. We are looking forward to completing the final sections of the final book of the final level of our language school before Thanksgiving. Then our focus will be on packing and making arrangements for the move to Costa Rica. It will happen quickly. Can you believe it’s November!?
On Saturday the Armstrong family hosted a fall party for the kids. It was great fun as the kids made caramel apples, decorated cookies and ate lots of sugar. Yum-Yum! (Thanks to the person from the US who brought the caramels in their suitcase!) The weather even cooperated with some cloud cover and a light breeze. Beautiful early fall day.

During the party we realized this is the last time these six kids will be together since the Armstrong family leaves for the states in a few weeks for home assignment and we’ll not see them when we return in January. Someone is always going somewhere, it seems. And constant change is a regular part of life here. We’ll truly miss our special missionary friends in Guatemala but are thankful for the opportunity to know such great people like the Armstrongs and the Slingerlands.
We continue to have good attendance at the new church plant in Colinas. It’s a blessing to see people come and then even volunteer to help the next week. Our hope is the church will have 4 or 5 strong leaders (besides the pastor) before we leave so they can be trained and already ministering before we leave.
Thanks for your continued prayers. We appreciate you!
God bless,
The Webbs
