It has always been an IMB mission tradition to get together for a Christmas meal and fellowship time in December. In years past when we had a larger mission family our gatherings were big. It was always a joyous time being together and seeing everyone. Although now we are much smaller in number we still get together. We like to reminisce about old gatherings and reflect on those who are no longer on the field. Memories bring us laughter and joy.
This year I hosted the meal at our home in Antigua. It was just us, the Stones, and our journeyman Lauren. We all fit around my table, which was something I loved. I served pulled pork and brisket that I picked up at Pappy's BBQ in town. To go with it I cooked a potato casserole, macaroni and cheese, corn, English peas, rolls, tea, and a chocolate chess pie.
It was a fun gathering. We missed the Waldraffs, who were in the States, but were excited to have Lauren with us this year.
The Guatemala mission family has a good reputation for being a close family. We have always been honored to be a part of it. Lord willing our mission family will grow a little over the next few years. Will you join us in praying for that?
