For the past 2.5 weeks we have helped Josh and Margaret on the beginning stages of their "round the world" mission trip. Guatemala was their first stop. We suggested that they take at least a one week intensive course of Spanish school. They joined us as we were also involved in showing around the new Camino Interns who arrived the day after Josh and Margaret did. Josh and Margaret went to Panajachel, Antigua, Chimaltenango and Cobán with us.

Josh and Margaret are willing to learn. They ask questions. They're helpful (even washing the dishes many times) and insightful. In all, they were a real blessing to us and our work. I'm sure they'll be a blessing to those who they come in contact with as they travel and learn new customs, foods, language and experience different cultures.

They joined us in our ministry. They were helpful, free spirited and willing to learn. I'm anxious to see how the Lord will use them in the next 12 months as they travel through Central America, down to Peru and Bolivia and then over to SE Asia, Nepal, India and finally Africa.
Their bio says:
Over the next year we will travel around the world serving and learning
from missionaries in their fields. We'll be visiting many different
locations, spending anywhere from a few days to a few weeks in each
place. We are Americans who will be pilgrims passing through foreign
lands. More importantly, we are Christians whose true citizenship is not
recognized by any nation on this Earth, but by the Kingdom of Heaven.
We are just passing through this life on our way to our true Home. We
hope that the transitory nature of this trip will remind us and teach us
of the transitory nature of life on this Earth. Keep up with us here -
or join us on the trip!
Prayer items for Josh and Margaret over the next 12 months would be
- Safety as they travel by land; making the correct choices of which bus lines and the best routes to take
- Putting people in the right places at the right time for Josh and Margaret to minister to and learn from
- Good health as they taste new and unique foods
- Willingness to learn from the Lord
Thank you for serving us here in Guatemala.
We love you, Judy! (Glenn, too) Thanks for this post, and the prayers. Be looking for postcards.
