It´s officially been more than three months in Guatemala now. It was quite a landmark for us when the stamps on our passports expired, and we´re now waiting for our missionary visas to come through.
This last month has brought more progress in the language- Kara and I are both almost through the final tense of verbs that we have to learn, and then the rest of our time in school will just be adding vocabulary and reviewing what we´ve already covered. Hopefully that will bring us more confidence in speaking, which we´re still lacking now.
We´re excited that we get to return to NLCH for a visit tomorrow. We´ll be there the entire week and get spend Thanksgiving there at the home. One prayer request that I´d like to mention: the kids are having a spiritual emphasis weekend at the home starting tomorrow, and since we are going to be there visiting, we were asked to give a devotional talk with the kids. We´re a bit intimidated by the thought of trying to do that in Spanish, although if we decide to use a translator we can do so. The important thing to us is that we can communicate to the kids how thankful we are to be here and that we want to help them realize the fullness of life that the Lord is offering to each of them. So, since it´s our first official ministry activity with the kids, we wanted to ask you all to keep it in prayer.
We´re looking forward to month #4 and getting to celebrate our first holiday season with these wonderful kids.

those mountains are especially beautiful with that double T in front of them.
