Welcome to life in the city...

We are becoming accustomed to life in the city...Guatemala City, that is.

Sunday, we worshipped with the brothers, and sisters, at a local church and enjoyed both the worship and sermon. Afterwards we joined a missionary family at Appleby's, yes, the same restaurant as in the states, for lunch and lemonada con soda, my favorite drink! In the evening, we joined some other missys for dinner at Chili's and another lemonada con soda. What a welcome to the city!

Monday, our supervisor's wife assisted us as we rejoined the communication world and purchased cell phones. Now, if we can just understand the spanish on all the bells and whistles of modern communication! Afterwards we all accomplished some other errands while driving around in the city.

Then today we began some of our orientation by visiting the embassy and registering there to begin the visa process and then the mission office. More city driving but this time as passengers!

Tomorrow, we will begin the process of house looking, a drive out of the city to Chimaltenango. Pray for us that we will know the home that God has prepared for us when we see it, if not tomorrow, then sometime soon, but all in His timing.

Glad your first few days are going well. We will be coming into the city next Wed. or Thurs. Maybe we can go out to eat together then. Hope the house hunting goes well tomorrow.

I can't believe that you misspelled APPLEBEES with as many years as your son worked there!! :) So glad to hear that everyone is treating you well-and feeding you well! Still a little jealous of the limonada con soda though!! I'll be looking forward to sharing some of those and some limon crush too! The truck on the newsletter looks great!! :)

We are so glad the language school phase is behind you! Just want you to know that your names are frequently mentioned in our services. The church at Marietta FBC is lifting you up. Can't wait to hear about the house hunting. We are praying for the perfect place. Love, Love, Love, MA

I agree with Bec! Come on...I guess you were just still basking in the goodness of the limonada con soda to worry about things like spelling. I can't wait to have a couple of those myself.

Hope the house-hunting goes well this week. I know you guys are ready to have a place of your own (and we are too!) :)
