Helen Ekstrom, veteran missionary here in Guatemala, turned 90 years young last week. We enjoyed attending the party and honoring her on her birthday.
Helen (and David) have been here in Guatemala since 1951. Helen is a missionary kid, having grown up in Bolivia. She met David as a high schooler in boarding school in the United States. David and Helen soon married during their college years and moved to Guatemala, where David grew up as a missionary kid. They have worked on 4 different Mayan language Bible translation projects. David passed away a few years back. Helen is still going strong.

I count it a blessing to call Helen a dear friend.
