Hello Everyone,<\/p>\n

\n

Our apologies for not writing sooner.\u00a0 This year has not been without its challenges.\u00a0 We have more staff, more students and lots more going on.\u00a0 But praise the Lord we have our victories as well.\u00a0 It is such a joy to see growth in the lives of our deaf students.\u00a0 Children who could not communicate 10 weeks ago are now conversing with us.\u00a0 It’s wonderful.\u00a0 Our staff is learning to work together as a team.\u00a0 There are 5 to 6 classes daily,\u00a0Tuesdaythrough\u00a0Thursday\u00a0with sometimes as many as 25 to 30 students.\u00a0 Monday is for training the staff and there is also a class on Friday for deaf adults.\u00a0 Elvis has been teaching the mothers sign language so they can communicate with their deaf children.\u00a0 We are looking forward to the day when we can have a real school building\/ministry center.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This is our kindergarten teacher Febe with her class.\u00a0 Febe is hearing and has a degree in Christian education.\u00a0 She is assisted most of the time by Yulissa, Elvis’ wife.\u00a0 They are both very creative and the children enjoy their class.\u00a0 For 8 year old Guadalupe, the tallest student, this is her first year of school\u00a0[\/one_half]<\/p>\n

Last Saturday afternoon we held a Seder dinner to celebrate Passover.\u00a0 It was a beautiful time of teaching and sharing a very meaningful meal together.\u00a0 There were 20 deaf people who attended plus Elvis and Yulissa and their two children.\u00a0 We had a slide show with pictures to help tell about Jesus in the Passover.<\/p>\n

This is Holy Week here in Guatemala and schools and most businesses are closed to celebrate.\u00a0 As Resurrection Sunday approaches we hope that you take time to celebrate what Jesus did on the cross for us.\u00a0 His death means our life.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your support and prayers.\u00a0 Have a great week.<\/p>\n

In His Service and for His glory,<\/p>\n

Greg and Jeanette<\/p>\n
