June was a good
month and also a very fast month. It seemed to fly by in almost every way.
However, fast doesn’t mean bad it just means busy. Also, not a bad busy, a busy
that we love because there was much work to be done and that meant we got to
see many people blessed. We got to see a house be built for a family that goes
to our church and was completed in one day even the leveling of the whole piece
of land. On top of that another family of our church was blessed with a part of
their land being leveled and a semi-retaining wall built to prevent water
washout from happening. Our church was cleaned, leveled, painted and cleared of
debris by a wonderful church from California. Multiple family visits were made including
returning to the family from last month of the 9 nine brother with around 30
family members in total. On top of all this at the first of the month we were
able to visit near the volcano to bring some relief materials. God is good in
the way he provides, takes care of, and overwhelms.
We have had the
joy of having friends from Texas here in Guatemala this month which has been
wonderful and refreshing. They have been going through a marriage conference
with the pastors and leaders of manna worldwide here in Guatemala. It has been
nice to be invested in, taught, loved, and taken care of in this way. It has
shown us the leaders, pastors, and teachers need to be taken care of as well. To
not always be the ones running the show, but to be able to come listen and just
take in the blessing of being invested in is so so important. So I challenge
you if you are not one of the people in these positions search, pray, and seek
how you could invest in those that are the ones normally doing the investing. Because
it is a blessing to take care of, but also to be taken care of. Thank the Lord for His people and the work and
love of His people.
This month we
ask specifically for prayer for our church: for male leadership, volunteers,
and that our church may be filled with people that truly love Him.
Personally we
ask for prayer for health for our family, as we have been battling with stomach
viruses this month.
Thank you for
your love, support, and prayer from afar; we feel it, need it, and appreciate
it greatly!
