A New Year
Starting the New Year
Sorry it has been a little too long in posting. We had a great New Year and have not stopped since. Don doesn’t know how to rest. There is so much to do. Don has been working on the August Pine Ridge Church. We now have lights that surround the church. There were about 50 young men their New Years night. They didn’t bother anyone but I will feel better if I can see there faces.. It really did help to have the lights shining on them. Some have come in to the service and others still come to watch, others have chosen to leave. We have the windows and doors ready to install. That will help the looks a lot. I started a Bible Study there Wednesday afternoon. Merealla went with me to translate for me. There were 10 adults that came and several children. I am pleased with how it turned out. I will start going on Wednesdays as long as they will come.
We are still going to Progresso on Saturdays and it is doing well. We still need a preacher. Don is still preaching on Saturdays and Victor has started going over their on Thursday nights. A van full goes with us to support the church.
San Lazaro is doing real well even though the pastor resigned. There were 27 at prayer meeting Wednesday night. On Sunday night their was a church filled to the brim. Don helps them out when he can. They will have youth group tonight. They want me to help. I am not sure if I will or not. I am still doing the Purpose Driven Life on Thursday.
We went to Guinea Grass Wednesday night there was a church full of people. They have a band and that attracts a lot of young people. It is always good to see them. It feels like going home. They are always glad to see us.
We were proud to have a group of student teachers from South Caroline here with us this week. They came in last Thursday. Five of them stayed with us the rest stayed at Sand Hill. They were a great blessing to the school and to us. They fell in love with the people here. San Lazaro welcomed them in the church. And The ladies cooked Belizean food for them. They left yesterday for a new area. Hope they will come again sometime next year.
Don has gone to Belize City to take care of things in that area. He will be back soon. Continue to pray for us and our familys
