Several weeks have passed since we updated our blog. This is partially due to being in school for four hours a day and studying about four hours a day, and the other excuse is that we have been going to many of the celebrations surrounding Semana Santa here in Antigua for the past week or two. School is going well. Our teachers, Blanca and Sandra, are both very patient and intelligent young ladies! After a few short weeks, we are beginning to communicate in Spanish in the market, when ordering meals, and with the couple from whom we rent. On a day when we were a little discouraged about our studies, we received a card from my parents which read, "I believe if Jesus calls me to get out of the boat, He is going to be there to help me walk on the water. If I start to sink, which sometimes I do, He'll reach His hand down and He'll lift me up. God will give you everything you need to do everything He has called you to do. You are in His hands and there is no better place to be." How true this is, and we thank Him for every word he has helped us to remember and speak! We are also very grateful for a family that is supportive.
Please continue to pray for our language studies, as we know this is essential if we are to serve. Please keep Kimmel's da
d in your prayers as he faces a serious surgery on Monday. Also, please keep Dan Shoemaker, the son of Sam and Nancy Shoemaker (missionaries in Rwanda) in your prayers. He is quite sick following a recent surgery.
We would love to hear for you.
In his love,
Glenn and Neva
