• Hola Chicos y Chicas!!

  
  

  Jan and I are here at Lago de Atitlan for the weekend, and it’s been such a beautiful couple of days!! We wanted some sis-time together too, and this weekend worked out perfectly… This lake is so enchanting, and I don’t think I could ever get tired of it… This is my 2nd time here since we arrived in Gua. and we’ll back once more before we leave.

  
  

  This week will go by fast – it’s Semana Santa here in Guatemala, which is their Catholic Holy Week, and the biggest event of the year. The festivities here are second in the world, Spain coming in 1st.  There will be processions every day, and on Friday there will be a procession that will last over 12 hours long, no kidding.  This is a really serious event to the Guatemalan people, but it’s so sad for me to see too… They mourn the death of Jesus, but don’t truly know the power of the Spirit living within them…

  
  

  Please pray that with the last few weeks here, we would finish strong and not become lazy in our walks with God or the relationships with the Guatemalans here… Please also continue to pray for Gaby (my teacher)…

  
  

  Ciao,
