Happy New Year to all!

Thank the Lord for time in the United States during December to visit several of our children as well as having them and their families converge on our home in Bedford to celebrate Christmas together for the first time in many years. It was a joyous time Friday and Christmas Eve with a houseful of eleven – especially enjoyed the grandchildren.

Shari and I arrived safely here in Guatemala on Thursday evening. Maria Hunsaker and Sarah Roach arrived Saturday evening but with two suitcases missing. We had to return to the airport twice yesterday but only one of the two missing pieces of luggage has arrived. Houston fog has caused delays for many here as well.

Bible Institute and Academy start in two weeks. Pray for us all as we face a very busy year, but one full of great promises and great grace. God bless you all in your ministries.
