College Life
We now have five of our six youth in college and one in his senior year in high school. For all new college students (and we have three new ones right now), we always remind them to study like never before since college requirements and exams are much harder than those of high school. Even with our warnings of the difficulty to come, we always get a, “Yep, I’m studying several hours a day.” and a “Yes, I’m ready for the tests”, even though we have our doubts. Then when they come back from those first killer exams, get really quiet, and don’t want to look us in the eye, we cringe and keep reminding them to REALLY study like never before. They always manage to do fine in the end, but every new student serves as a reminder for us to keep pushing and praying for each of them as they move into new phases of life.

Our own lives
Rodolfo has been involved in a citywide school soccer tournament. It was his school’s first time to participate. Rodolfo and his team had a lot of fun, even though they didn’t win. Jennifer has been busy making candles, lotions, and chocolates to sell at a couple of local craft fairs. It has been a great way for Jennifer to get her creativity going and to earn a little extra cash to cover costs and to provide extra items for gifts. Robert has been helping some with ministry finances and has enjoyed spending the time with Steve Razor on various projects.
Easter Break
For Easter week, Robert, Rodolfo, and I were blessed to be able to participate in our 4th retreat with Christian Reformed World Missions. Each time has been a blessing in several ways. We have been encouraged spiritually, challenged in our ministries, and had a chance to rest. It’s also been great getting to know other missionaries in Central America and to hear what they are doing in ministry.
