Catching Up!

 We are playing "catch up" with our blog.  Last April, we left our ministry in Guatemala to begin anew back in the states.  Greenville, South Carolina, where our son, Aaron and Ruth and their two children, Peter and Marijane , live, as well as our daughter, Sarah.  The focus of our ministry in these months has been with the family - the first time since the kids have grown that we have all lived in one place!  Also, the Lord has introduced us to a small spanish speaking congregation, where we hope to be able to be an encouragement.
This is Mari Jane, now 14 months old.  She is running everywhere, starting to talk a lot, and loves music.  She has more dance moves than anyone we have ever seen!

 This is Peter, now 4 1/2 years old.  He is very active, loves being outside , especially in our 1 1/2 acre lot, where he rides his car and picks up sticks!
He is in a half day program at the same school where his daddy teaches the Bible to 7th and 8th graders.  He likes to find the eggs that our 6 chickens lay in the hen house.








Our big news is that Sarah is getting married to Will Dehart the end of February!  We are very happy to include Will in our family, especially since God included him in His family about a year ago!  They will make their home in Greenville, about 15 minutes from our house.
Easter, 2012


 Right now we find ourselves once again in Guatemala, for one month, to check on friends, ministries and projects that were started while we were here.  In a future blog, we will tell all about our time here.
But for now, please pray for the school project that allowed Bible teachers to enter public schools last year. We are in the midst of finding a new director, more teachers, open schools for this year.
