Life Lately February 2024

 Here are some random photos from the month of February. 

We began the month with a volunteer team in country.  They left on February 2.  You can click on Easthaven Baptist mission team to read about their time here. 

The following week we made a visit to Chiquimula to worship with our church plant in the mountain village of Nearar.  
 
We also enjoyed a Super Bowl party with our IMB mission family.

 We had a lovely Valentine's Day.  We began it with a heart shaped pancake breakfast. 

My guys gave me roses and a new coffee cup.

I love collecting the seasonal cups from San Martin.

The boys had a party at Encounter Academy that afternoon and then that evening David and I enjoyed a date night outing in town.

We had a Saturday puzzle night.


A volunteer team from Florida was in town working with another ministry.  Their children's classes  had studied about our family on Wednesday nights so they wrote us the sweetest letters and brought them down to us.   We enjoyed reading through each one. Thank you Fruit Cove Baptist Church!

The boys playing Battleship.

One of my favorite things is currently available at our McDonald's. I love their strawberry & cream pie!!

When we were home in the States last summer, our friends gifted us a set of outdoor lights.  David finally got around to hanging them in our backyard.  They have many different color patterns and we are enjoying them a lot.
 
Ben and his neighbor friend Josue playing video games one afternoon.

These beautiful yellow trees are in bloom all over town.  They are such a pretty sight to see. 

The jacarandas are also in full bloom.  I love purple so seeing these each year brings a smile to my face.
 
When we were on STAS in 2021 I discovered how good coffee was with half and half.  At the time we could not get it here in Guatemala.  Now, our PriceSmart carries it.  Life is good!

Ben went on a field trip with Encounter Academy to visit some of the historic places around town. He had a fun day hanging out with friends.


 
Enjoying a picnic lunch on their field trip.

This quarter they are taking P.E. at Encounter one afternoon a week.  Here they are practicing basketball.

In Science Cruz was doing a module on Earth Science.  He did an experiment exploring the properties of plastic rock. 

 It was a little messy and he loved it!

In addition, we had a wonderful time attending the annual Intermissions Conference. 
 
and while there, I celebrated my birthday.  
 
David is ending the month on an exploratory trip to the Kanjobal area to make some contacts there for future visits.

An afternoon ice cream outing just me and the boys while David was away traveling.

Overall, it was a lovely month!
