<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="verdana,geneva,sans-serif">In
early February we made a trip to Chiquimula to visit our church plant
there in the mountain village of Nearar. It is always a blessing to get
to return and worship with them. David preached during the morning
service and afterwards we spent some time just catching up and
encouraging each of them.<br />
<br />
Continue to keep the church and especially Pastor Rafael and his wife
Luz in your prayers. Pray for encouragement for them. Pray that each
member of the church would grow in their faith and share their faith
with those around them. </span></span>

This year, like many years in the past, it fell during the annual <a href="https://davidandregina.blogspot.com/2024/02/intermissions-conference-2024.html">Intermissions Conference</a>. I woke up in Panajachel, Guatemala seeing gorgeous views of Lake Atitlan. I was surrounded by precious missionary friends who gave me many hugs and birthday wishes. I was serenaded many times with the "Happy Birthday" song, and one of those times was on the marimba. I had delicious buffet meals for breakfast and lunch. A highlight was a fantastic time of worship and preaching. If it had ended there, it would have been a perfect day. But, when the conference was over, we drove back home to another beautiful location, Antigua, Guatemala. I ended the day walking around our beautiful streets and enjoying a supper meal at Hector's Bistro. <br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXaeik8IXXKQPn1EaRvjf-exFCvm_tMbmZwQExEKmE7J4T3u4HMjrDHP9cjQdZ7kYeO10qUmkoZucRwdsjOQmQOsdpCXqPt79oRrQoA-NR9SfuYCowHEsgtd9pjhoR_WKjwDhSvCXrL8cyLTJvk2jasHNreJkBRLSQm2kQ4UXTJaMtG7_-9cY9ws79os4/s3024/IMG_9731.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

This year we had a total of thirty- seven volunteers come to serve. Our guest speakers, worship team, and youth team came from Clayton King Ministries in Anderson, South Carolina. A team from Scottsdale Bible Church in Scottsdale, Arizona came to work with the preschool and children. A counseling and life coach team came from Green Acres Baptist Church in Tyler, Texas and FBC Canyon, Texas. These volunteers did a fantastic job, and we are grateful to them for their willingness to come and serve all of us.</span></span></p><p><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x1lliihq x1s928wv xhkezso x1gmr53x x1cpjm7i x1fgarty x1943h6x xudqn12 x3x7a5m x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xi81zsa x1yc453h" dir="auto"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x1lliihq x1s928wv xhkezso x1gmr53x x1cpjm7i x1fgarty x1943h6x xudqn12 x3x7a5m x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xi81zsa x1yc453h" dir="auto"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZkZRnYvv8UWpXG5J7GpOqZSCQw6zzLFf1AlQH3xUViSe4S3z8a1sVwijNHdNZg1Ii2lNxVPOIS3GcasFUdRGOG92PC0kNCadwSDnxdFnuQQaE64Xl9wpcQ-ESQ8BW64pHzFJEfgHjZMVRjBR-FUfvtLZ3OJsET3i-Q9DAliIpVSEK0HomH0EkGJMTU3E/s3266/IMG_E9765.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3266" data-original-width="2389" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZkZRnYvv8UWpXG5J7GpOqZSCQw6zzLFf1AlQH3xUViSe4S3z8a1sVwijNHdNZg1Ii2lNxVPOIS3GcasFUdRGOG92PC0kNCadwSDnxdFnuQQaE64Xl9wpcQ-ESQ8BW64pHzFJEfgHjZMVRjBR-FUfvtLZ3OJsET3i-Q9DAliIpVSEK0HomH0EkGJMTU3E/w468-h640/IMG_E9765.JPG" width="468" /></a> </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x1lliihq x1s928wv xhkezso x1gmr53x x1cpjm7i x1fgarty x1943h6x xudqn12 x3x7a5m x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xi81zsa x1yc453h" dir="auto"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u">This year's theme was "Anchored" taken from Hebrews 6:19-20. <br /></span></span></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">On Saturday afternoon we have breakout sessions.

We left home on Saturday morning and because of road accidents and road construction we did not arrive until eight hours later.

highlight from our trip to Mexico was getting to meet the English family
in person. After many months of video calls it was wonderful to finally
get to talk to them in person. They are such a sweet family and it

Continue to pray for them as they study Spanish and adapt to the culture. </span></span></span></div>

One of those goals was to make quarterly trips to the Kanjobal area to
survey the work for future ministry purposes. David, Mark, and Gary
will be making a trip in late February. <br />

Pray for them to make some great contacts and get a better understanding of what work exists in that area.</span></span></div>

are ending the month hosting a mission team from Easthaven Baptist
Church in Brookhaven, MS. They arrived last Saturday and will be here
until Friday. <br />
<br />
They have been busy making home visits, doing basic medical checkups,
having Bible study with children and youth, sharing testimonies, and
preaching in two services on Sunday. They have ministered in three
different areas throughout the week. <br />
<br />
Pray for the hearts of those who heard the Gospel this week. Pray that
God would continue to work in their lives and draw them to Himself.</span></span></div>

I was home for my dad’s funeral and going through some of his things,
the boys asked me to look for them a pocket knife. I found two and they
got them as Christmas gifts. The one I gave Cruz had my dad’s name
engraved on it. (Cruz had gotten a knife for his 13th birthday with his
name engraved on it so I thought this one was perfect for him).
Priceless treasures that they both loved!!</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0cv0AF5HJkoLVy91XPAS2o2BZ6XjO9eia1nASYtTGPefLxcTqQwN-Ep-l2A39v77uh6mgFcvH85EYfs2JhZ3x4l2iCJ08qzAQVBNB1I335x7sa5ZDYeYTqaI64BTrPFCqlUJOXW1x5aCEUBIM2G0fZZpadUWGhvqvUYbGlv-y7plnBPPcS1KlVPLbsu0/s4032/IMG_8299.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0cv0AF5HJkoLVy91XPAS2o2BZ6XjO9eia1nASYtTGPefLxcTqQwN-Ep-l2A39v77uh6mgFcvH85EYfs2JhZ3x4l2iCJ08qzAQVBNB1I335x7sa5ZDYeYTqaI64BTrPFCqlUJOXW1x5aCEUBIM2G0fZZpadUWGhvqvUYbGlv-y7plnBPPcS1KlVPLbsu0/w480-h640/IMG_8299.JPG" width="480" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hooray for Pez! <br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihHzGIlfKkSH-wBcWVx8MYMqb8aFlLU9evBgOGolUi-DZcdr60nTxvPK84z54Py3EQpuhWLtXPVfiQ2vCc2431x0u1-HBlF1CB2B8ukoqZfqmeIu9kLzMhsabsKS5g4798krfjSjUzarNdE2uy2aAOUfg9jw1aeXq6FNiiUB-6RPg0RhXsPb38ARQoLxA/s4032/IMG_8312.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihHzGIlfKkSH-wBcWVx8MYMqb8aFlLU9evBgOGolUi-DZcdr60nTxvPK84z54Py3EQpuhWLtXPVfiQ2vCc2431x0u1-HBlF1CB2B8ukoqZfqmeIu9kLzMhsabsKS5g4798krfjSjUzarNdE2uy2aAOUfg9jw1aeXq6FNiiUB-6RPg0RhXsPb38ARQoLxA/w640-h480/IMG_8312.JPG" width="640" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Because I had recently made a trip to the States for my dad's funeral, they got a lot of their favorite U.S. snacks, candies, and foods this year.

It sounds like a war zone but is so fun to experience.<br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRmA6295sdefN-IHQZN8mIdpRVfqZXibFHJCC07M65BEdcFo8ud1rG7wn-h4fkSZgWLXgVrhoUE-Qj69SanUBEIUNgP14eGmp8dUM2eE4ZjJEpdQhJdNyW4ShxQjYDWdBbTNSVrIR4cnyqORsvzvurDhMnp-PUOHmAf2WvMSyvSesiv8cvq-CwsFDIrJU/s4032/IMG_8264.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRmA6295sdefN-IHQZN8mIdpRVfqZXibFHJCC07M65BEdcFo8ud1rG7wn-h4fkSZgWLXgVrhoUE-Qj69SanUBEIUNgP14eGmp8dUM2eE4ZjJEpdQhJdNyW4ShxQjYDWdBbTNSVrIR4cnyqORsvzvurDhMnp-PUOHmAf2WvMSyvSesiv8cvq-CwsFDIrJU/w480-h640/IMG_8264.JPG" width="480" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We put out the Christmas gifts and got to bed a little after one.

This year it was held in Quetzaltenango because that is where everyone but us currently lives. We met for lunch at a quaint little restaurant called Nonnos Chalet. In addition to the meal, we always buy the kids gifts and do a white elephant exchange for the adults. There is always much laughter around the table and also joy as we reminisce about Christmas party memories from the past. Our mission family has definitely slimmed down over the years, but the new families that we have recently added do excite us. </p><p>Here are some photos from our time together. <br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSTURPx6pMKQbRDCUPjx-5S0PtbP287BZS26U93KUwv7voTFTj5lRNTfUS8gpLFmfIu1CaUECEFjTOF716AZzBFb2n0pxRpoM9jp4pLQCr2M-aryIqD1Zoki3S0tB1WHyaxE5jjuU1cpLHFplOC-wrLg7tGd-smjMkWCsmrV3kEZJ1qKGFH9QTuY1ARH8/s2998/IMG_E8154.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2520" data-original-width="2998" height="538" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSTURPx6pMKQbRDCUPjx-5S0PtbP287BZS26U93KUwv7voTFTj5lRNTfUS8gpLFmfIu1CaUECEFjTOF716AZzBFb2n0pxRpoM9jp4pLQCr2M-aryIqD1Zoki3S0tB1WHyaxE5jjuU1cpLHFplOC-wrLg7tGd-smjMkWCsmrV3kEZJ1qKGFH9QTuY1ARH8/w640-h538/IMG_E8154.JPG" width="640" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">a group photo </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH0nI4LlJlj_csCUJScuKRpXnlNLU0323-hsDChnFGKaG5LjBry8EydfcI82uVj4sTsVUfU6PO-8TQPjKVXHSfq_XyYX55vhloTVd_6yFoPZ7-v9xfT43nGmU81RMwS8_HLZPuN-6vjjMvVTfha5sWlH_f_EPfBw-9IA7PhyphenhyphenJHRcLZ8VqlLZ5c9UOyF_w/s3024/IMG_E8156.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="1906" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH0nI4LlJlj_csCUJScuKRpXnlNLU0323-hsDChnFGKaG5LjBry8EydfcI82uVj4sTsVUfU6PO-8TQPjKVXHSfq_XyYX55vhloTVd_6yFoPZ7-v9xfT43nGmU81RMwS8_HLZPuN-6vjjMvVTfha5sWlH_f_EPfBw-9IA7PhyphenhyphenJHRcLZ8VqlLZ5c9UOyF_w/w404-h640/IMG_E8156.JPG" width="404" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">our family at the party <br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj37pe98KJ5rYG7syYWk6kLKrUtGjlTq-QI0KDS25z-2XeHCIHJDTe5WRvQOLxDkWXHoWaMELX_NZk_jPBg-vFhI0riSqELpjpkJvmfx2LxR-gp9H-cLH2N4SPYiVUgfV2ygEVNANc7tvJvoDMKvy9Kc303LgGK5EktP1Dtry31jNaFLvFdFI1zXJ3tCc8/s4032/IMG_7934.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj37pe98KJ5rYG7syYWk6kLKrUtGjlTq-QI0KDS25z-2XeHCIHJDTe5WRvQOLxDkWXHoWaMELX_NZk_jPBg-vFhI0riSqELpjpkJvmfx2LxR-gp9H-cLH2N4SPYiVUgfV2ygEVNANc7tvJvoDMKvy9Kc303LgGK5EktP1Dtry31jNaFLvFdFI1zXJ3tCc8/w480-h640/IMG_7934.JPG" width="480" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The MK's- two are ours, three belong to the Robertsons, and two are adult MK's of the Stones.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiukKwjBJohCbGYBUkuhx2Drr_cXyufxN3ODBgRNGrBisbJdg6mNoFToSP9WxZDMVCbdEnmqRHdzY8t07q6QjWcJ9LSW8TSqsdz4gtsYkFJSzM9FldcuuS2R5NBsqfWO7soNeOPv1d8IT308XRAy6Px9iawCqP3CYe9hAqU0nzRcucDkWD5vErxlor7vfc/s160/IMG_8732.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij9VRwPBfUqN_dwk9KTZ0Xqb1f8hK30ewvp9jZM7vs54jSBp76QjXpZ782FxkNFWdQ8CE_DEHEX4piVGWPeDT9pIfiTtTLWLZA8HP0er-b3AjhArRed8pd3W_fUkMhrWPsn1-3SDUudAlr22_mYw_bbk6YB89Z7tQsFhz1PkzvsuzTGGML1lNUAOlVU0I/s4032/IMG_7935.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij9VRwPBfUqN_dwk9KTZ0Xqb1f8hK30ewvp9jZM7vs54jSBp76QjXpZ782FxkNFWdQ8CE_DEHEX4piVGWPeDT9pIfiTtTLWLZA8HP0er-b3AjhArRed8pd3W_fUkMhrWPsn1-3SDUudAlr22_mYw_bbk6YB89Z7tQsFhz1PkzvsuzTGGML1lNUAOlVU0I/w640-h480/IMG_7935.JPG" width="640" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">One of the rooms at the restaurant had a wall decorated in old vintage sewing patterns.

I am behind getting this newsletter out. To be honest, the last month
has been difficult. For those who might not know, my dad passed away
unexpectedly on November 20. I made a trip to the States for his
funeral and since returning I have been trying to get caught up on work
and finishing our homeschool semester. <br />
<br />
Staying busy has kept my mind occupied, but it cannot hide the waves of
grief that sneak up on you. Please continue to keep me in your prayers
as I mourn his passing. It is never easy to lose a loved one but having
it happen during the holidays is just not fun.<br />
<br />
In spite of that, here is an update from November and December.

In early November David attended a regional

area. They had a great time of worship and electing of leaders for the
upcoming year. <br />
<br />
Pray for all of the pastors and churches throughout Guatemala as they
make plans for the new year. Pray that the churches would be
strengthened and united. Pray for growth among the believers. Pray
that God would give them a heart for evangelism, and we would see new
believers and baptisms in 2024. Pray for the pastors to stay encouraged
and that they would preach and serve with a renewed passion and zeal.

In early December David and our teammates
helped lead the annual Indigenous Conference. This is a yearly time for
Indigenous pastors and leaders to get together for fellowship, worship,
and training. This year we had several Guatemalan groups represented
as well as a group from Honduras. <br />
<br />
It is always a special time for those who attend. They really bond with
each other during this time. They not only leave refreshed and
encouraged but also with some new friendships and names of people they
can call on in time of need. It is a yearly reminder that they are not
alone and others are having similar struggles as they are. Sometimes
just knowing that can keep people going.

we add the English family to Guatemala. They are currently doing
language school in Puebla, Mexico with plans to land in Guatemala around
October. Continue to pray for them as they do language and cultural

past year. We love this opportunity that we have been given! Pray that
we would do it well.<br />

Pray for these families and singles that we are supervising. Pray that
each of us would seek God's best for our ministries in the new year.
Pray that we could all stay focused on the missionary task and see much
fruit in the days ahead.<br />

We will be making a trip to Mexico in January to visit several of
our families. Pray for safety of travel and that we would be a great
encouragement to each one we visit.<br />
<br />
We will also be making a visit to Quetzaltenango in January to meet with
our local team to set goals for the upcoming year. While there we will
celebrate the new Robertson baby girl and have a shower for them.<br />
<br />
At the end of January we will be hosting a mission team from Easthaven
Baptist in Brookhaven, MS. Pray for us as we finalize plans to host
them and for a great week of serving on mission together.

Lantz's parents faithfully served in this area years ago, and they had our house built. They were the first family to live in it. Lantz had brought his son to Guatemala to show him around and introduce him to some of his favorite childhood places. Getting to show him his old house was a highlight and we are glad we were able to help make that happen. We are now the fifth IMB family to live in the Antigua mission house. We love hearing the stories of the other families who lived here over the years.<br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKE6BztI-To2MD5MvuFw_Norncss4erCWNHGqn4V8Dq1UKL-QzHj6xDV0I8Sbtz04sFR9eX0Smv6Yit4XEvurHPBaChhsaNi2-W37y4dSdoju6r0lOBAnZhiYAetBYEdm6Rd9oDndb53Cf5FOunEd9roWaTu0VUyC_xdlPS49xEmn3yx05AHG6svESOro/s2731/IMG_7202.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2731" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKE6BztI-To2MD5MvuFw_Norncss4erCWNHGqn4V8Dq1UKL-QzHj6xDV0I8Sbtz04sFR9eX0Smv6Yit4XEvurHPBaChhsaNi2-W37y4dSdoju6r0lOBAnZhiYAetBYEdm6Rd9oDndb53Cf5FOunEd9roWaTu0VUyC_xdlPS49xEmn3yx05AHG6svESOro/w640-h480/IMG_7202.JPG" width="640" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Our family in November <br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi78x7tryeylijHRd4y_Y7rkJBfUZkA5WAj_JfuyhH_o3U4zk-PO58fLmMT5E98SBLHZmHHq57iqC_UqIA1ZGej0DQWPHNKhdxcNE_YkL0VXjmKseGPluRT67NpnfOAeabhfXZee1aKdrIspbN40d73DdyCT_s_lJX3l93BR8HjlSzDpFyDTKuHUdIHGqs/s4032/IMG_7214.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi78x7tryeylijHRd4y_Y7rkJBfUZkA5WAj_JfuyhH_o3U4zk-PO58fLmMT5E98SBLHZmHHq57iqC_UqIA1ZGej0DQWPHNKhdxcNE_YkL0VXjmKseGPluRT67NpnfOAeabhfXZee1aKdrIspbN40d73DdyCT_s_lJX3l93BR8HjlSzDpFyDTKuHUdIHGqs/w640-h480/IMG_7214.JPG" width="640" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We joined some friends for a night out at a wonderful outdoor dining area near Alotenango called El Predio. <br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs5zSdG2dVANQpO8pKOOTJ0kZy8V7L36sdmHFORMK6k9gBUWXxAJyu09gRJYy7Aek0T1jucrlegsFbRDp_fpK16Jlk9p0tS4Hr9nnijMQw9MEq7Lf_QdT457SPHJowEEKlKI2mQy1MjX-CYXTuMqRLmBBrKuGKYxbKsvqP7XRfN3YJivI9m_70Jyuryos/s1600/KKBP5536.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs5zSdG2dVANQpO8pKOOTJ0kZy8V7L36sdmHFORMK6k9gBUWXxAJyu09gRJYy7Aek0T1jucrlegsFbRDp_fpK16Jlk9p0tS4Hr9nnijMQw9MEq7Lf_QdT457SPHJowEEKlKI2mQy1MjX-CYXTuMqRLmBBrKuGKYxbKsvqP7XRfN3YJivI9m_70Jyuryos/w640-h480/KKBP5536.JPG" width="640" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Cruz attended a birthday party for his friend Canon.

It is the weekend of the annual Flower Festival. Our town is beautiful all year long, but during this particular weekend it gets all dressed up in flowers and is on full display. This was the 7th year to have the festival. It has grown each year in attendance, but this year was an overwhelming record crowd. I do not think anyone anticipated the huge number of people that showed up. </p><p></p><p>I went in on Saturday morning to walk around and take some photos. I had plans to return that evening to see everything at night but ended up staying home. It was just too crowded! As you can imagine, I took many pictures while I was out. I will share a few highlights here and then a YouTube video at the end of the post highlighting more. The pictures do not do it justice. It really is an incredible sight to see in person! </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_ryivDoQjvYLtfHgesKWb_4mng9QXAoVfVKpHzLVD3arKDFuR67-zlL3eA5mSErnltFR9yMRTdpUKNev0Gzc9xMNRR2oT5-h9GmuB_tH22GTZpsIR9ciSESzB3vA3UcaLUQY0CCMtgqRAz6aESEXXm2wv3vJh64drQmFCudIq57FyggyXJX7FSx7hk9Y/s677/IMG_7160.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

For the last few years, the Central Park in Antigua has been doing a small festival to display some of the kites. It is usually held on the Sunday following All Saints Day. They line the kites up around the park and everyone walks around to see them. They do not actually fly the kites on this day. They are just on display. They are very colorful and HUGE! <br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc"><span><span><span role="tooltip" tabindex="0"><span class="c5aZPb" data-enable-toggle-animation="true" data-extra-container-classes="ZLo7Eb" data-hover-hide-delay="1000" data-hover-open-delay="500" data-send-open-event="true" data-theme="0" data-ved="2ahUKEwj0mIy8s4qDAxUvkmoFHX0yCmwQmpgGegQIEBAD" data-width="250" role="button" tabindex="0"><span class="JPfdse" data-bubble-link="" data-segment-text="Sumpango"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipm8AWseU1-NEgpyx9ZJF_AmxvrnlGEOGmd-muasQ_jSkBCG5NInFA88hW0DRaJWYPKJW2pEO_E1_Sn_k_uRsMQZ1SpWhwUVlQQKIFzhsvZx5KnR-VvpeDFaHTlhlxLvAo25B-5V06ZBaNDSVk05bcJ2-8JfKWH1DzUvvb2JvC7F8wXYEaxaJLiif0x74/s4032/IMG_E7102.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipm8AWseU1-NEgpyx9ZJF_AmxvrnlGEOGmd-muasQ_jSkBCG5NInFA88hW0DRaJWYPKJW2pEO_E1_Sn_k_uRsMQZ1SpWhwUVlQQKIFzhsvZx5KnR-VvpeDFaHTlhlxLvAo25B-5V06ZBaNDSVk05bcJ2-8JfKWH1DzUvvb2JvC7F8wXYEaxaJLiif0x74/w640-h480/IMG_E7102.JPG" width="640" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Marimba music is common all throughout Guatemala.

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span face="verdana,geneva,sans-serif">Right
in the middle of the protesting we had a trip to Virginia scheduled to
attend an IMB Homeschool Conference for families serving in the
Americas. Here we are after arriving at the airport in the middle of
the night to avoid any roadblocks. That meant we had a long ten hour
wait to board our flight. We were happy to get out for a short break and
thankfully things calmed down while we were gone. <br />
<br />
We had a wonderful conference! I was able to get a lot of questions
answered especially for things pertaining to high school and college
prep. Our morning devotions were led by some of our IMB leadership
wives. A highlight was hearing Michelle Chitwood share about an issue
she had with her son when he was in school, which just happens to be a
struggle I am currently dealing with. Her words of wisdom and reminder to focus on our children's hearts encouraged my
heart in many ways. It was just one of many takeaways I had from the
conference.<br />
<br />
A U.S. volunteer team came to work with the kids while we were in our
classes. Our boys participated in daily fun-filled educational
activities. They also took the IOWA state test and were part of a
science fair. <br />
<br />
Other activities throughout the week included a graduation recognition
service for our juniors and seniors, a talent show, a curriculum fair, a
college fair, and a surprise birthday celebration for our amazing TCK
educational consultant.<br />
<br />
This conference is just one way that Southern Baptists support their
missionaries. Educational issues is something that many missionaries
struggle with. Whether families choose homeschool, national school, or
international school, the IMB does a fantastic job of making sure we
have the training, resources, and support we need to help our children
get a solid education on the mission field.<br />
<br />
Thank you Southern Baptists for making it possible to have conferences like this. Our family is truly grateful!</span></span></span>

soon as we returned home from Virginia, David headed out to Chiquimula
to attend a graduation service for our leaders in Nearar. For the past
three years several from the Baptist church in Nearar have been taking
Bible classes at a local Bible Institute. The church pastor, Rafael,
and his wife, Luz, finished the course and graduated. <br />
<br />
This was a huge accomplishment for them both. When we first met Rafa
years ago, he had a limited education. He has come a long way
over the years and has worked very hard to learn. His desire to be able
to read the Bible and grow in his faith has been his motivation. <br />

in October we celebrated seventeen years of service with the IMB. We
are very humbled that the Lord has allowed us to serve Him here for so
many years. It has been an honor to represent Southern Baptists on the
mission field, to be a face to your Lottie Moon giving, and to host many
of you here in Guatemala. <br />
<br />
Many of you we have met as a result of answering the call to go. Our
lives have been impacted greatly by your prayers, your friendship, your
love, and your encouragement. Thank you for coming alongside us on this
journey. You play a vital role in everything we do! <i>Let's keep going!!!</i></span></span></span></div>

I miss being in the States during this time of year so creating it in my home makes me feel happy. <br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF4NGIIiP-oS0p-NlyEPQ6ikWSYGgT1dd4pouP_9t7QaBCgFktDQ6sFga9V443sooSw5ot-yNoLuOvXFjPjXZdJiO5ljRtuVF-vLqA884nmNIsJ5cA8mCA9F3AJdtsXpDlMFikJoPM6ze_GojEnYTorWbVmkeKQgphmr8MK6AXhNOrCD2jyuwFQ_2VKcw/s4032/IMG_6091.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF4NGIIiP-oS0p-NlyEPQ6ikWSYGgT1dd4pouP_9t7QaBCgFktDQ6sFga9V443sooSw5ot-yNoLuOvXFjPjXZdJiO5ljRtuVF-vLqA884nmNIsJ5cA8mCA9F3AJdtsXpDlMFikJoPM6ze_GojEnYTorWbVmkeKQgphmr8MK6AXhNOrCD2jyuwFQ_2VKcw/w640-h480/IMG_6091.JPG" width="640" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">our dining room</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WI2tT_WBCas" width="320" youtube-src-id="WI2tT_WBCas"></iframe> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">a YouTube video I made of our decorations<br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCH7l2YagUdxCV_x-LPqQu070DcTQM-AQnuQfaBN7ZLMNZMwLXq1vnJw3qEDaKB0DSXLJMhnvA6fsdQGE8w_GkRu33HJYFdhAh9S-o-vang8Xr9gs6XdxIigN9jaRB8qPTGpTT8SXfDE-EoBCJqyb30gw23MGH4KYK1ArnG-F3BUDwiANG4DQwd_myQ2U/s4032/IMG_6118.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCH7l2YagUdxCV_x-LPqQu070DcTQM-AQnuQfaBN7ZLMNZMwLXq1vnJw3qEDaKB0DSXLJMhnvA6fsdQGE8w_GkRu33HJYFdhAh9S-o-vang8Xr9gs6XdxIigN9jaRB8qPTGpTT8SXfDE-EoBCJqyb30gw23MGH4KYK1ArnG-F3BUDwiANG4DQwd_myQ2U/w480-h640/IMG_6118.JPG" width="480" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We watch a lot of football on Saturdays.

<span style="color: #0066cc;"><strong><span style="font-size: 20px;">Being an Encourager</span></strong></span><br />
We were able to worship in four congregations this past month. During
those services David preached three times. In addition he made some
weekday visits with pastors. He spends a lot of time on the phone each
month calling and texting pastors to check on them and encourage them.
This is not only the pastors in our local area but also our contacts in
the Chiquimula area as well as several U.S. pastors. We have always
enjoyed the role of encouraging others who are serving in ministry. <br />
<br />
This encouragement role is a large part of our current assignment with
the IMB. We have six teams that we supervise. These teams consist of
twelve full time families, three single short term females, and one
semester volunteer. We work closely with the team leaders and have at
least one monthly video call with them. All of them do Indigenous work
in Guatemala and Mexico. Much of our time these days is spent doing
administrative type duties. It is definitely a different role for us
but is one we are learning to embrace and enjoy.

We will also be traveling to attend a Homeschool Conference with the
mission board. This is one of my favorite conferences to attend! It is a
time of learning, networking, and training for the homeschool moms
serving in the Americas. The boys will be taking achievement tests,
participating in a Science fair, and more fun-filled educational
activities. <br />
<br />
David will be making a trip to Chiquimula to attend the graduation
service for some of our Nearar folks who have been taking Bible
classes. We are proud of them for completing the courses and thankful
for the opportunity they were given to study. Pray for each of these
that they would use the knowledge they have gained to share with others
and lead them to the Lord.</span></span></span></div>
