For those of you who are only following the ministry and my life here on the blog you're probably wondering why I haven't written anything in awhile. This past month has been so busy, full of joys and grief, that I haven't been able to post much.
Besides going to Guatemala, for the orientation and retreat, Brandy and I finally found and moved into a new apartment! And I spent a lot of this past month packing, moving and now I'm working on settling in. Brandy also graduated 3rd in a Mandarin class he was taking, and then the day after the graduation ceremony Brandy's father died.
I'm not going to go into all of what happened, but Brandy's father, who was only 55, had a bad heart and because of that his organs shut down. Brandy, his older brother and I were there for his last hours and this past week was spent with Brandy's family in Gracias.
As you can imagine this has not been an easy time for us, or for Brandy's family, and any prayers you can give us we'd really appreciate. The loss of a father is always hard to deal with, and Brandy's father was young and some of his children aren't even adults yet. Also he wasn't a Christian. While in the hospital Brandy said a prayer with him, but by that time he could hardly breath, let alone talk, so Brandy told him to repeat the prayer in him head. We pray that he excepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and savior, but we can not be sure.
Please keep Brandy's family in your prayers. They're going to need strength to deal with all of the grief their are feeling right now.
