Please receive a very warm and friendly Christmas greeting from Josiah and Katherine in Guatemala. We continue to do very well and feel blessed everyday to be here sharing with the people of Guatemala who have received us with open arms for the past 16 months. We want to thank so many of you for your thoughtful messages and greetings. Please know that you are all in our daily thoughts, and it won't be long before we arrive back in the States for our 6 months of diocesan work. We hope you enjoy this update/reflection.
