October Update

Our children, Brayden and Brianna, are finishing up their last days of school for the year.  This week they have had final exams.  Next week will be practice each day for their end of the year program.  Their program will be October the 15th.  After that, they have summer break until January.  In January, Brianna will be entering kindergarten at Colegio Boston in Ciudad Vieja and Brayden will be entering the 3rd grade at Colegio Kayala in San Pedro Las Huertas.

Our family is looking forward to the visit home to Alabama in November.  All of us are very excited to see family and friends.  We are also looking forward to visiting with several different churches and pastors to share about the ministry here in Guatemala.  I will be in Alabama from November 1st through November 30th.  Kim, Brayden, and Brianna will be in Alabama from November 1st through December 13th.  I have to be back because of obligations with the youth camp and VBS with it being summer break here in Guatemala for the kids.

Our ministry has big plans for the new year.  We are continuing our Feeding Center program in San Cristobal El Bajo.  We plan to make the program even better this next year and have quarterly big activities.  Our youth group has grown tremendously over the past year.  So much that we had to split the group into two nights per week.  Our 12-14 year olds now meet every Thursday night and our 15-18 year olds meet on every Friday night.  We are planning to have even more big activities throughout the next year, and are planning to plug the group into the local church even more.  We will have 2 church services this next year that will be led by the youth.  There are so many new plans for this coming year that I cannot list all of them on here right now.  We plan to share most of the new plans at churches when we visit Alabama in November.
