Back in Guatemala and Getting things Started...

Hey Everyone!
We were very blessed to be in Alabama for almost three months with you all visiting family and friends and churches and sharing what we feel like God is telling us to do this year in Guatemala. As soon as we got back, we started to work.
We were blessed to be able to work with a medical team sent from Global Missions of Mercy that worked with people in the village and also in the city of Camoton. This week, we are working with a construction team also sent from GMM, and we are in the process of contacting pastors and setting up our first Pastoral Training Seminar for the year. We sent out an email asking for your prayers for this seminar...so please pray and lift up the two pastors that are coming from the States to lead the classes and for the pastors here that will be receiving the teachings. The two pastors from the States will be here from March 7th to March 14th.
Also, we have hired Nancy Perez to help us administrate the teams that will be coming in the next five months, and we are not used to being "in charge" of stuff :) so please pray that everything will run smoothly and be glorifying to God.
Thank you for everything!! Please keep us in your prayers!
