A lot has happened in the life of this family!  Kesler and Byron passed the year of school!  We were really worried about Kesler but he worked hard to pass and graduated middle school this year!  Byron will be in 6th grade next year.  Kesler is still trying to figure out what direction he wants to take for his high school studies.

Beverly decided to move out of the house and live with her boyfriend and baby’s father, Josue.  They are staying in his parents’ house.  While Olga didn’t want to see her leave, she said she was tired of fighting Beverly who seemed to be making things difficult in the home for everyone.  We are still in touch with her and even got some pictures of the baby Daylin Dariana Benelope.

Elias and Olga have seen growth in their marriage and report that things are going very well between them.

Additionally, Olga has officially taken an internship position with Servants in Guatemala!  At the end of November, she began accompanying us on family visits and is learning more in-depth about how we minister to families in Linda Vista.  Olga is very excited to be working more with us and even told us she had been praying for God to give her an opportunity to serve more with us.  She wanted to make sure, however, that she will be able to continue cooking for teams when they are here because she loves interacting with everyone.
