Life Lately March 2023

 Here is a peek at our lives during the month of March.

We worked  hard at school.  Here are the boys doing math and spelling on our white board.  I realized that day that we have definitely outgrown our board.

A new coffee mug my guys bought me.

 

 

This quarter at Encounter Academy the boys are taking an art class and have been greatly enjoying it.

 

I loved seeing the beautiful things they would bring home.

 

We attended a family day at the school.  There was someone there doing face painting and all the kids loved it.

 

Ben read scripture during the program.

 

Ben helping his friend Noah do magic tricks for the talent show.

 

Ben is continuing to take tennis lessons every Saturday with his buddy Josue.

 

 

We made two visits to the Baptist church in San Rafael.

 

David preached on one of those visits.

We try to attend the Baptist church in Parramos several times each month. The first Sunday of each month they do the Lord's Supper.

I love that the boys can participate with us. 

 

We also spent several days at the Baptist church in San Andres Itzapa hosting a volunteer team from Easthaven Baptist in Brookhaven, MS.

 

We met this sweet family and have enjoyed getting to know them. Our boys became instant friends.

 

We have been improving our patio space and are using it often. We have especially enjoyed sitting out in the evenings with a cup of hot tea.

 

We had supper and a family game night out there.

Fuego and Acatenango are off in the distance.

 

I love a good sunset view! 

In addition, we visited a Guatemalan theme park in Guatemala City with friends and also a baby shower during one of the Saturday afternoon Bible studies at Parramos.
