I went to church this morning and saw so many faces that I love to see when I am home, and am now here watching a Christmas movie with my sister with a fire in the fireplace. As much as Guatemala and it's people have my heart and it feels like home, there are no replacing moments, places, and people like this.
I am fortunate to have Jesica at Steps of Hope to run classes and the office as I am gone. I don't know what I would have done without her! I had a meeting with the Director of another school that is for students with special needs before I left. Her students have more severe disabilities and many needs. Many families go to her for help and with the desire for the students to study at her school. At this moment, they are essentially full and some of the students (for various reasons) don't qualify. So I made referral documents so those families can come to SOH for tutoring help. Some of the student in need of help have failed due to one class, many times math, and have to repeat the school year. It is my hope that those parents will come and register their children to be part of the tutoring program, where we will work with them one-on-one to meet all of their specific needs. Please pray during these months that the Lord will send the families our direction.
I hope to see all of you when I am here, but if I do not please know how much I appreciate your encouragement and support, always.
