...so long since we last wrote? So very sorry, but please don't stop following the blog. There are so many things happening that sometimes it is difficult to stop and write. We have recently sent out our March prayer letter. If you did not receive it and would like a copy, please post a comment with your email address and we will get it to you.
...we have tickets in hand for Guatemala? The time is coming soon that we will land "home." For over 20 years we have prayed for the land and people of Guatemala and soon we will settle at home there.
...we have lived in Costa Rica almost a year? As we look back over this year, it is a delight to recall the places we have visited, the people we have meet and with whom we developed deep friendships, the people who have come to visit us, the people with whom we have invested the Word of God, the foods we have tasted, enjoyed and added to our life's diet, the growth in God's Word and His fellowship, and oh so much more.
...we speaking Spanish and at times, being confident in our conversation? Well, there are many times that we speak and don't feel confident, that's for sure, but we can talk and listen and respond. That's very good! What a delight that on the way home from church this morning, as we discussed the sermon, we rejoiced in the depth of our understanding and the great insights the pastor shared. This sermon from one of the pastors that speaks really fast, even the ticos say he speaks fast.
...we still have much more Spanish to learn? Now, this is definitely a big YES. Spanish will continue to be a learning experience. Is not English a life-long learning process as you increase your vocabulary? So language learning will continue for us.
...God's amazing Grace has been extended for all mankind to hear and respond in repentance and faith to His call of salvation? May we each continue to share that message in whatever idioma we speak to all we meet. Until all hear and know and worship our Lord and Savior...blessings!

Wow so exciting! We will be praying for ya'll as you transition out of your time in Costa Rica and head to Guatemala.
Matt. 9:37Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. 38Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."
This was the scripture last night during our revival services. Your field will soon be Guatemala, though I know we are all called to be workers. Dean and I continue to remember you both in our prayers and pray now that God is preparing the hearts of those whose lives need Christ in your next field.
We love you both.
