Information about the people pictured above:
Julián our tallest Guatemalan friend, is 26 years old. He and his wife, Lucy, had their first baby, Jehisy Lucía, in March. Julián, a faithful servant, is able to drive, so runs lots of errands. He is developing a program for other Guatemalans to use their crafting and sewing skills to make special products for our teams and stateside friends.
Oscar is 25 years old and often leads our morning devotions, Bible studies, and has a sensitivity to the needs of the people in his culture that we respect highly. He will be overseeing our education activities and will help Rachel with the sponsorship projects.
Manuel is 42 years old and is a brand new papa to his fifth child! It's not unusual to find Manuel reading his Bible as he prepares to teach. Manuel also is an amazing driver. He is a fine example of a faithful husband and father, something not found very often in Guatemala. What a man of faith!
Ruth is 22 years old and is such a special, sweet young woman. She has a teaching certificate, so will be helping with lots of our children's activities. She wants to work more on her English and loves to spend time with our teams.
Sandra is 23 years old and may be the shortest person on our team but is one of the hardest working people we know! She makes sense of all the bookkeeping, answers the phone, frequently leads devotions and Bible studies and just makes sure that everything is running smoothly. She's our detail girl! And what a delight!
