New and Old Friends...



Jane and Wendall Parker are Guatemalan missionaries emeritus. We have enjoyed wonderful fellowship with them over the years. We are so blessed that they are in country and are giving us intensive training and a country overview as we travel around getting accustomed to the road system of Guatemala. They are God's precious gift to us.



What do missionaries do when they get together? Eat...Here we enjoyed dinner together at a new friend's home, Janet, and with "old friends" Jane and Wendall and Margie.



Our supervisors, Gary and Lily, celebrated their anniversary last weekend. Happy Anniversary a little late! Sunday evening Gary's brother, a pastor in SC, collasped after preaching both services Sunday. Monday the doctors did not hold out much hope for him as he had massive internal bleeding. They were able to stop the bleeding but saw extensive damage to his intestines...believe it is result of medication for the cancer he has been battling for 2-3 years. Gary flew back to be with the family. All are praising the Lord that he is able to talk with them and is holding his own at the present time. They do not know what the future holds but are trusting God for His will to be fulfilled. Join us in prayer for the entire family.

Aren't friends a precious gift from God? We treasure your friendship and think of you often. Thank you for the investment you have made in our lives. Thank you for continuing to hold us to the Father. Pray for us especially as we begin these weeks of traveling the country. Thank you for loving us. Praying for you too.
