I was driving my new car, got stuck in traffic in the middle of a
bridge when all of a sudden the car started rocking… that is weird, I
thought… then I heard on the radio “there is an earthquake” ayayay if
the bridge can´t take it that is it… but the bridge is still there and
I am still here!  But that is not the same story in other parts of
Guatemala.
I want to share some of the GREAT blessings God has giving me in the
last 2 months.
In September I got the blessing to go to CTEN ORIENTATION in Texas,
got to meet lot of great people, I got to see God’s work in other
parts of the world like Bolivia, Brazil, and Uruguay. I was honored to
share the same room with all of them!  I praise the Lord for the
provision for that trip; the same family that donated the air ticket
also got me to visit my sister in San Diego. Right at the same time
that my brother in law base in Afghanistan got attacked,  it was the
right time to be with my sister, thank God Billy is safe but please
keep him in your prayers.
I also got the chance to share the gospel with my cousin Juan Carlos,
28 year old, who accepted Jesus in his heart while we were talking in
my sister´s kitchen, so talking about been where God wants you to be…
In September I got to lead an exploratory trip for a Church from
Indiana that is praying about bringing a team to Guatemala next year,
so I hope and pray that they do!
October was a pretty busy month, is the end of the school year, so I
needed to pass final exams and grade them, lots of work but it is over
now!
I got the visit of the pastors of a supporting church for a few days
and it felt really good to be loved and cared by them while they
visited Guatemala.
A week after they left was the earthquake, 50 people died, more than
1,000 homes were badly damaged, over a million people were affected by
it.
The same week Ingrid a girl from the orphanage died, because she had
heart problems, she was 12 but now she is with Jesus for eternity.
Violence is still very bad in the city, 3 students from precious
moments had been victim of it,  one family lost the father because the
gang members came to their business and asked for their extortion
money, when the father refused to pay… they killed him.
3 weeks latter 3 people were killed one of them was the father of
another student of mine, Junior… who is doing really bad! And last
week, 2 of my students got in the middle of a gang territory fight and
got shot just because they were in the wrong place…
University is going well but it is extremely hard! 4 classes per
semester plus teaching is hard! But take a look of the circumstances
of this children, I am obligated to keep my studies and become a
children psychology for them!
On other subject, my van thank God has been rented this month, 7 more
payments of 500 US each and then every time the van is rented 10%
tithe. 30% will go to precious moments , 30% to maintenance  and 30%
to my personal support… but so far nothing for December or January
please help me praying for rental opportunities.
Thank you for your prayers! I need them, here are some suggestions:
Health
•       Spiritual life, that I can spend enough time with the Lord
•       Protection
•       Financial support, still behind(US250) monthly support
•       Energy and intelligence to keep all the knowledge I am getting at
University in my brain!
