A son returning home…

August 7, 2011 //  by michael.shead

His father is a pastor but he’s been following his own direction for a while and now finds himself robbed and trying to make it to his home near the El Salvador/Guatemala Border (about 8 hours from here). He wasn’t ready to put God back in charge …

Funnies from the Field

June 26, 2011 //  by michael.shead

Guatemalans are very “helpful” when it comes to babies. With all the advice we get, Chrisi politely listens to their ideas but takes them with a large grain of salt. Here are some of the advice we’ve received: Don’t walk over a water hose while pregnant or the umbilical cord will wrap around your baby. …

Entering a new culture

May 1, 2011 //  by michael.shead

Entering a new culture is…well…different. For years, we learned, replicated, and lived out the culture into which we were born. Now, we’re not just learning a new language, we are learning a new culture. To do this takes work. As new missionaries, we are studying Spanish and learning to adapt to our new Guatemalan culture, …
