Although we missed being with our family during the Christmas season, we appreciated the bond of fellow misionaries who are our family here in Guatemala. We are of the family of god and are bonded together for eternity...praise God!
On Saturday, December 12, we enjoyed having the 10 IMB language students who have been studying Spanish in a small town south of Antigua. Eight recent cllege grads and a married couple have spent almost 3 months there learning to communicate the gospel of Christ before they head to Mexico and South America. We gave them each a pan of homemade cinnamon rolls as their Christmas gift.
Then the entire Guatemala IMB Mission family gathered for our Christmas Luncheon. Again, lots of food and great fellowship was enjoyed by all.
White elephant gifts added to the fun!
It was also a time to say goodbye to Janet, who has been our treasurer for eleven years. Due to the restructuring of our mission adminstration, she will be moving to Santiago to become a part of the financial ministry team. We are going to greatly miss her, but she is only a phone call away.
Then it was time for the traditional mission kids photo.
Obviously, our youngest mk did not like having her photo taken without being in the arms of her mom!
Thank you for continuing to give to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering so that the work of IMB missionaries would continue to spread the Gospel of Christ to a lost world.
