Due to the social<br \/>media platform, we were able to reach people in different<br \/>locations in Guatemala and in Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday mornings, I have been teaching an apologetics class for ASELSI in Chichicastenango, and in the afternoons I have been teaching the art of communication class online for students from Mexico, Venezuela, Guatemala and Texas. This has been a transitional way of teaching after the COVID restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>Emily is experiencing a big transition not only with Jonathan leaving but as many of our closest missionary friends are returning to live in the U.S.; please pray for us to make new friends. As the elementary principal at Christian Academy of Guatemala, she is also praying for all of the teacher positions to be filled for August. If you know anyone who might like to be a missionary teacher, please let us know!<\/p>\n<p>As we prepare our suitcases to go to Texas and visit our family, we know that God is faithful. He never leaves us or forsakes us, and we will continue to serve Him, teaching His Word and serving the beautiful people of Guatemala.<\/p>\n<p>One of the families leaving to live in the U.S. is the chaplain\u2019s family from the kids\u2019 school. As we were saying goodbye, the chaplain<br \/>said to Analynne, \u201cI think you could be the next student chaplain; I know that you have what it takes!\u201d What a privilege to see our children growing in the Lord!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmcimissions.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/church.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"388\" height=\"327\" data-attachment-id=\"3732\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.tmcimissions.org\/?attachment_id=3732\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.tmcimissions.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/church.png\" data-orig-size=\"388,327\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"church\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.tmcimissions.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/church.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tmcimissions.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/church.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3732\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tmcimissions.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/church.png 388w, https:\/\/www.tmcimissions.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/church-300x253.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 388px) 100vw, 388px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>We will be in the DFW area for a month from June 15 to July 15.
