June through August

From Global Lutheran Outreach missionaries Ben and Scarlett Tino (Serving in Zacapa, Guatemala):

August means an end to summer and back to school for the kids! Here in Guatemala although we are having summer weather we are not on “summer break” yet as the students just passed the halfway point in the school year. We have had a good amount of rain these last couple months. The rivers are full sometimes causing flooding, and the mosquito population has tripled bringing the numbers up of people infected with the deadly dengue fever. But we have been healthy and well, and baby Jaakko continues to grow just fine.

Sunday school
Scarlett continues to teach out in La Trementina and El Maguey on Saturday and Sundays. Sometimes the group is three little boys, but regardless she always leads the class and when the group gets thin she goes around knocking on doors to get the kids up and out.

Growing the church… one baby at a time

Us with some of our friends at a gender reveal party in June. No, it wasn’t for Scarlett but for our Pastor’s wife Ana, who is third from left in the picture. It has been great to have a pregnancy buddy for Scarlett and their due dates are just two weeks apart!
