Well - I do not believe I have ever bought a ticket from Guatemala City to Boston for $80. Really! Go United Miles Club!! 17,500 miles and $80 later I have a ticket waiting for me.
I will be flying on June 8th, arriving near midnight in Boston.
It is truly bitter sweet as I will be leaving, again, my wife and kids behind. Please continue to pray for them. It is going to be a very difficult adjustment for all of us.
Blessings,

Choir, Climate & Biometrics
So there is nothing in common - choir, climate and biometrics.
Last Sunday Joy and the C.A.G. choir embarked on the journey to a rural area called Nebaj. The journey took them a number of hours. They arrived and went right into their first concert. After the concert the power went out and did not come back on for a couple of days. They had to do a number of their concerts without power and thus without their keyboard accompaniment. Yet they did not let this discourage them - and the Lord was glorified by their determination and hard work!
A number of the choir members had opportunity to share their personal testimonies. These ended up being powerful to the communities and to each other. The choir even had an opportunity to perform live on the Ixil radio station - which averages over 100,000 listeners in and around the area.
Everyone returned safely but tired on Wednesday evening.
Over the past two or three weeks the climate has changed here. Gone are the cold mornings and highs in the mid 70s. Enter the 80% humidity and the mid to high 90s. Just in the past couple of days the rains have started. Not much yet - but it is coming.
Our passports are done! The last part included sending them to the Guatemalan Immigration to transfer our residency stamps. Took about two weeks.
This is just in time as I now have movement on my citizenship! I have received the request for biometric capture, June 10th, 2015. We are going to attempt to have them captured here at the US Embassy. If I cannot get them done here then I'll attend my scheduled appointment in New Hampshire.
God continues to work miracles here. We ask that you continue to pray for us during this time. With the end of school, our move and pending separation things continue to look challenging. God is always faithful and He can handle this.
Thank you to all who have been and continue to pray. May the Lord bless you all!
