Merry Christmas

We hope that you had a fabulous Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Several of you have asked if we eat turkey here for the holidays.— The answer is yes—and although some like to slay their own, we prefer ours from the frozen food section of the grocery in Guatemala City.  Nothing like a Butterball.  Highlights from November included...  Children from the Agua Viva Children’s Home came here for a weekend get-away, children from the Guatemala City dump came for a two-week English Camp, and in December we were able to help a local church host a Vacation Bible school for 200 children. While the Bible school was great fun and a blessing to the kids, I came to the realization that working with 200 kids for a week—is not only tiring but really not my gift.  I am impressed with those of you who have the ability and the patience.   Matt spent the week helping with sports, playing soccer, basketball etc.  While I consider Matt to be fairly gifted athletically  - he is really not cut out to play soccer with Guatemalans. Since being here, he has torn ligaments in his hand  while playing goalie and  broke a toe while attempting to dribble the ball away from a small child. 

We will spend our third Christmas here in Guatemala and will miss you all this holiday.  As always—we appreciate your prayers and all that you do.   

We wish you the very best this Christmas season. 

Matt and Leslie Capehart
