Tom went to Antigua, Guatemala with our friend Jim. Jim owns a cafe in Antigua called The Refuge. They spent time at Jim's place and then travelled around Guatemala, touring coffee farms, from little to large.
Trying out the cafes in the area was an adventure only a coffee aficionado would appreciate; others wouldn't understand (or care). Regardless of the coffee they had a wonderful time being together, reconnecting and growing their friendship even more.
While we're on the topic, please keep praying for the coffee shop ministry here in Merriam. There are two different options for us and Tom is trying to find out what G-d's will is for the ministry. Sometimes He speaks so loudly and clearly, and other times it feels like He's either saying, You decide, or Hold on. It's hard to decipher which is which sometimes and Tom is doing a good job getting guidance and wisdom from people he respects and trusts. All that, and we could still really use your prayers.
I know the pictures seem like he had a beautiful time in Guatemala, and he did. It was a nice break from the stress at home. But now he is back and figuring out the next step, and the times are just as tense as before he left.

Leah, we too are in a time of transition (YAY!) and it couldn't be more confusing at times. Exciting, perplexing, hope-filling, mind-boggling etc. etc. etc. You know what I mean. We will be praying for you as you listen to Him and wait on Him. One thing I always liked was when Jesus told his disciples that he "always did what He saw the Father doing." That means He's always doing...always moving...always working on our behalf. We can rest during those times of silence because He's not resting...He's doing. Amen. Love you guys.
I'll continue to stand with you guys and cry out for the L-rd's will. You have been so strong to continue standing and exercising your faith. I love you. Come L-rd quickly!
p.s. I love the picture of the boat...AMAZING!
