In late January/ early February our Team Guatemala hosted a volunteer team from our IMB home office in Virginia. We had five people come down to meet our missionaries, see where we live, and serve alongside us.

David and Tyler picked them up in Guatemala City and first traveled them
to Quetzaltenango for an overnight stay. The next day the Stones and
the rest of the English family joined the team, and they all traveled to Ixchiguan
for a few days. While out, they made home visits, visited three churches, led two worship services, and encouraged many believers there.

At the end of their trip, they spent some time in Antigua. The boys and I enjoyed getting to hang out with them and show them around our town.

It was a special team to host and a lot of fun for everyone. I love that our home office is making field visits available to our staff. It helps us connect with them and helps them get a better understanding of our lives on the field. We will always be grateful for our home office staff and the way they go above and beyond to support our missionaries serving around the world. They are a blessing to everyone and now we are blessed to know a few more of them in a personal way.
