Hello Everyone, Our trip back east was beautiful with all of the fall colors. We shared in many churches along the way, and we spoke in several ASLI classes at Liberty University.
The plans for a dairy farm are moving forward. Greg is receiving help from some professional dairymen here in California. The owner in Guatemala is excited that we are asking so many questions. He is looking forward to talking with Greg once we return in early January.
Greg spoke with a woman who works in a ministry that helps orphanages become self-sustaining through the planting, harvesting and sale of strawberries. We don’t have an orphanage but we may be headed in that direction. Or at least the direction of a residential school. Let me explain.
While we were on our trip visiting churches I received a message from Elvis in Guatemala saying that we may be getting another deaf child, this time a girl named Joselin. She is living in an orphanage with little or no language learning opportunities.
Mario is doing well and we will see him in the beginning of January. School starts three weeks after we return.
Please pray for Mario and Joselin.
How many more deaf children are there living in situations where they have no language and no opportunities to learn? Is God leading us towards a residential school? Is the dairy farm and perhaps the strawberry fields part of what God wants to do in Guatemala to reach the Deaf? Please be praying with us for direction.
The staff will be taking a much needed vacation during Christmas and New Years. Please keep them in your prayers. There is still much to be done to get ready for next year. January will be a busy month. There are many needs. How people respond financially to those needs helps us in our planning.
Our snail mail Christmas letter went out last week. If you have not received yours it may be that we do not have your physical address. Please let us know if you want one of these paper newsletters.
Keep us in mind for your year end tax deductible giving. Thank you for your prayers and financial support. May the Lord bless you richly. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
In His service,
Greg and Jeanette
