Actors, Singers, Dancers . . .

That was our Friday evening as we went to watch Teresa Lara take part in a two hour musical . . . or at least it seemed like a musical. The students, all 12 of them, had to dress up like little children and explain different aspects of the Guatemalan and US culture in English through music and plays. The whole exam was from memory, nothing impromptu . . . not even the question and answer portion. Thursday we helped Teresa with her question and answer portion for about 3 hrs. We are glad to say that she did a good job!

Saturday, after our Bible study, we stopped by to pick up Samuel and Nestor for supper. Many of you who read this blog have heard of Nestor, but have never seen him. He is a 14 year boy that lives just outside Guatemala City. He is, most importantly, the son of Samuel. We were blessed to finally meet him and spend some time with him. This was the first time in years that Nestor has came to see his father. Needless to say, Samuel was grinning from ear to ear the whole time he was at our house! Please pray for Samuel and Nestor as they hope to see more of each other in the future.

Today, Sunday, we went to church with Max Lara. Plans were to watch Teresa get baptized, and we were going to officially name this blog “Teresa’s Happenings.” However, plans changed, and she was not baptized today, but we did have the privilege to see one man testify about his salvation and then be baptized. It has been a great and blessed weekend, and we pray that that continues as we go to our Sunday night study.

Please pray for us as we head out of town tomorrow. We will taking some R&R this week in Coban and Tikal before our busy summer starts. As always . . . thanks!
