Lunch in Antigua, Guatemala with vetern missionaries Stan and Barbara Orth and rookie missionaries, John and Gail Conners.

What a delightful afternoon, as we visted over lunch at Fonda Real. We picked up the Orth's from their home and drove them the 30 minutes over the mountain pass to the quaint town of Antigua. John and Gail were finishing their language school classes and were ready for some laughs and a good visit.




I've know Stan and Barb most of my adult life, however, I have learned to appreciate their godly wisdom, gentle smile and sincere friendship. It was 30+ years ago when I first traveled to Guatemala as a high school student, ate pizza in the Orth's home (yes, Pizza in Latin America)and got my missionary call/vision.

The Conners explained the tragic experience of their Guatemalan friend. The Orths were able to interject some cultural insights on the whole situation. It was a debriefing time and a good chance to learn and relate together.
