I am not sure just what I did, but I think I erased all of our former blog entries.  I think I should just let Niel assume all blog configurations. However, if I can adjust the blog url, I think we can continue with this new one.

I just wanted to let you know that you can see the VBS photos at my last entry.  Never before in all my life have I appreciated my own country more than while listening to the children sing all 6 stanzas of the Guatemala national anthem during opening exercises of VBS.  I realized in vivid reality that we are indeed pilgrims here.  Called my God, definitely, and happy to be here, but knowing with certainty that this is not our native country.  It was an emotional moment for me.  They hooked me into playing the keyboard for VBS because the pastor is the one who usually plays and he wanted to lead the kids in learning new songs.  All of VBS was a learning experience for Niel and me, added to all of our other learning experiences since we have been here.

Will send another entry about Christmas when I know that this is going to go through.
