Reunited with Friends

My first trip to Guatemala was on our one year anniversary.  It was during that time that Rhyan and I won our first family (Andres and Rosa Lydia) to the Lord as a couple on the mission field.  While on our survey trip we became very good friends with them.  When we returned this year, we wanted to get in touch with them very badly, but were unable to do so.  Andres' phone number had changed, and the streets in their town had been altered, so we weren't exactly sure where they lived.  One day last week we were running some errands in Antigua and we heard someone calling Rhyan's name.  It was Andres!  We were so happy to see him!  He said he saw Rhyan's belt buckle a mile away and knew it had to be him!  The whole family came over later that week for supper.  It was so good to be reunited with them, and to know they missed us too!  God is so good!

Sunday May 13th

Our second Sunday was a little disappointing, because only Rhyan and I showed up for church.  But we still had a good time of worship together!  Last Sunday we waited about 30 minutes, and no one came.  We were about to give up when Jose, his family, and two visitors walked in!  We were so excited!  They all said they would come back next week!  God answered our prayers.  Please pray that more people come to hear the gospel!

First Church Service

We are so excited to report that we held the first church service of Iglesia Bautista La Gracia (Grace Baptist Church) last Sunday, April 29th!  We are so thankful for all the prayers that were offered for us.  We handed out over 300 tracks and invitations last week for the opening service.  We have been working with two families for quite some time now, and both of them came to the service!  Rhyan preached on Ephesians 2:8 about God's grace, and "Amazing Grace" was the first special music that was sung.  We also had a great time of fellowship afterward.  We're so thankful for all God is doing, and we pray that He will continue to draw people to Himself and grow the work He has begun.
