Candy and I are finally back in the same place. We both left Washington state on January 30th. Candy flew to Guatemala and I flew back to Pennsylvania to participate in Lancaster Bible College's missions conference. I returned to Guatemala on February 19th after the conclusion of the missions conference to a wife who was ever so glad to see me.
While in PA I also helped my parents clean out their storage unit from their move about a year ago. While there, it came to my attention that my mother is showing signs of either a small stroke or advanced dementia/Alzheimer's, and she had a doctors appointment to confirm something had changed significantly for her. Her memory and navigation skills have been significantly affected. She has some follow-up doctor's appointments that will hopefully help to better understand what is happening and what the prognosis is for her. Please be praying for wisdom for the doctors and peace for our family, especially my mom.
Candy has been busy teaching the Guatemalan finance to close the accounting books for a year. They are doing a super job in grasping this training quickly. The finance office also added a new staff member, which is helping them get caught up and will provide for future transitions of staff in and out of the office. Whether it be elementary school students, horseback riding, or accounting software, God has always provided Candy with great joy when those she teaches have what she calls "light-bulb moments". That is the teacher's heart God has given her for those she teaches or trains. God has blessed her greatly in this with those she is training in the finance office.
