We had a wonderful visit with our oldest daughter Carolyn and her husband Andrew. They came for a week and a half, and it was fun to have them here!
Carolyn grew up in Guatemala from age 11 to 16, so she liked introducing Andrew, who had never been to Guatemala before, to her hometown of Chichicastenango. Andrew seemed to enjoy his visit to the market, shopping in town, attending a church service, and going with us up to the next town with a bigger grocery store than ours. He was shocked by the crazy traffic and bus drivers and laughed at seeing a pickup truck with two bulls in the back parked in the grocery store parking lot.

Andrew was intrigued by the men calling, "Dale! Dale! Dale!" (which means, "Come on!") whenever any vehicle needed help in getting through some tight situation. It was fun seeing Guatemala through the eyes of the uninitiated! Fortunately our cable TV was working, so Andrew and Michael were able to get in some football games while they were together!
And during the visit, we recorded a video for all of our supporters, thanking you and giving you some information about our ministry:
