After returning from our honeymoon, we spent a weekend with the girls before beginning a stressful moving week. Maria´s mom and sister changed homes with us and now all 7 of us are settling into our new home. This house in San Cristobal (a town just west of Guatemala City) has been a tremendous blessing for all of us. The owner is a God fearing man and has been very supportive. He gave us a good deal on the house as well as leaving furniture for us to use. It has enough space for all of us to live comfortably and we love our location. We are within walking distance to just about anywhere we need to go, which is good since we do not have a car. There is an 8 lane swimming pool next door and I am excited to see what opportunity there might be for giving classes. We also are close to Journey Church, the church we attend which is full of American missionaries.
The condominium where we live is full of playmates for the three kids. Naty and Sofy have played outside everyday with our neighbors since moving here. It has been nice eating dinner together as a family every night and we are starting to get into our routine.
As I survey my new surroundings, I ponder our path. What is God teaching us, where is He leading us? What people has He put in our path? I pray for wisdom to help lead the family in the right direction and strength to fight my own demons that get in the way. I pray for the environment of the home, that it is filled with love, patience, forgiveness, and a longing for God.
