April's Quarterly Update

A look back on how the first three months of the year have gone

MINISTRY UPDATES

Well, this week has been only our first week with YWAM Antigua,
but we've been busy over the last three months!

Beginning of the Year

We started the year getting used to life with two little ones, having been not that long joined by Jonathan. This time was also useful for contact with supporters, revamping our web presence, and doing a little local ministry.

Furlough

We then had 5 weeks booked in England to be able to meet up with supporters, visit churches, share with small groups, reconnect with friends and family, and try to find some time to relax for ourselves as well.

Furlough Extended

Our furlough ended up two weeks longer than planned when Jonathan came down with chicken pox, but were really blessed to be able to do so, as shared in our last update

Moving In


We ended the quarter by moving back to Guatemala, then moving from Puerto Barrios down to Antigua, which you can read more about by following THIS LINK

FAMILY UPDATE

Semana Santa Processions (see video below)
Charlie was able to enjoy a belated birthday party with her Guatemalan family (since her birthday took place whilst we were in the UK). As you can see, she enjoyed the cake that they chose for her very much (and as I write this she is dressed as Super Girl too!)
JJ got over his chicken pox in a normal amount of time and has been more or less healthy since, although we have all of us been suffering from coughs since getting here. JJ's sleep is up and down (meaning ours is too!)
Andrea took full advantage of English customs and we both drank a lot more tea than is usual. We have, of course, returned here with a big bag of English tea bags (460 to be precise!). Have to drink it less frequently though to make it last!
