The weather this week has been beautiful!  The building teams have taken advantage of being able to work without the interruption of rain.  The International Missions Association has built a total of 22 houses in only two days!  They are extremely hard workers and many of them have participated in multiple Guatemala mission trips.

One of the highlights of this summer was Bro. Tico allowing me the privilege to teach at the seminary in Chimaltenango.  I found it ironic that I was the one who attended seminary kicking and screaming, and now I was teaching others in seminary.  I taught fourteen first year students in the class titled “Teaching Children in the Church”.  Of course, I would have never been able to teach without people helping me by translating my southern English into Spanish.  I will forever be grateful to Lisa Vargas for attending class everyday and translating my words into perfect Spanish.  I realize that she unselfishly spent three hours of her week faithfully assisting me and I am very appreciative.  I felt it was very important to give powerpoints to the students for them to use as a resource in the future.  Rita Arriola invested hours of her time in translating my powerpoints from English to Spanish.  There were a few times that she graciously translated the notes on a limited time schedule.  Thank you Bro. Tico, Mrs. Lisa, and Mrs. Rita!

We are praying for you as you worship in your church tomorrow!  May God receive all of the glory!
