Antigua, Guatemala: Casa de Cony

We are “at home” in la Casa de Cony in Antigua, Guatemala where we will spend the next two weeks.  This is our second time to stay at Cony’s house–a delightful experience with the best hostess in Antigua!  Very convenient, delicious meals, wonderful times of  sharing, and many opportunities to practice Spanish.

This morning I met Angela who will help me this week with understanding more of the Latin American culture, some of the unique aspects of the language, and the world view of the Guatemalans.  She is a native Antiguena, a nurse who has worked with several international medical and benevolent organizations.   The campaign group does not arrive until Friday, so this week I will also have some time to finish my sermons for the campaign in Honduras later in July.  [This afternoon, I have already succumbed to the temptation of the granizada de mora (a flavorful, blackberry slush).]

Always, one of the delights of my time in Antigua is the opportunity to immerse myself in the word of God in Spanish.  Last year I completed the Psalms during the two weeks I spent here–this year I have begun in Proverbs.  We appreciate all who are including us in prayer–we also are praying that our efforts might continue to bring glory to God and souls to the kingdom.

Hasta la proxima vez (until next time), que Dios le bendiga (may God bless you).  Bob and Jan
