Feliz Navidad
Praise:

Gracious Teachers:
The photo above is of our language school: Christian Spanish Academy. It is just a few blocks from our home stay house. Our "Maestras" are very patient and we are learning Spanish as well as anyone our age could be expected. Gwen just passed her first test and is moving on to Level B!
Cozy Living Quarters
Our house mom, Miss Elizabeth and her housekeeper, Miss Anna, take good care of us. Our meals are regular and we are learning to eat many new Guatemalan foods. Our room is small (10'x10'), but well organized and we have everything we need at our fingertips!
Prayer:
The Home and Cars still need to sell
We have left them in good hands with Realtor Michele Henzie (319 231-2892) with Selentic Fischels and our car guy, Darrell Sells at Sells Auto (319 987-3131). Please pass this information on to anyone you know that may be interested.
Continued Learning
We are approaching nearly 1200 vocabulary words and over 150 verbs that all seem to need conjugating. Often we feel overwhelmed and need to remember that this is a marathon and not a sprint.
Perseverance:
Homesickness
We have had a few lonely days and miss friends and family. We know that this is to be expected, but it feels a little more pronounced this time of year. Please pray that God would use this time to draw us closer to Himself.

Thank You
God has provided several new financial partners and we have been both amazed and humbled by the generosity of His people. We have tried to thank everyone personally through emails, snail mail and instant messaging but some have chosen to donate anonymously so we want to express our gratitude here once again. Your prayers and support truly are a lifeline to us.

Learn More about our Mission
We got to spend some time with the girls this past weekend and had a great time with them. It really reinforced our desire to accomplish Spanish and be able to communicate God's love to their hearts.

Feeling a little stretched but,
Working for God's Glory,
