Hicks family comments

This is our second year serving the people of America Latina in Palencia. Reacquainting ourselves with our Guatemalan friends was a joy. We also made several new ones. Our big surprise was discovering that prayers were answered through the beginning of the AWANA program (called OANSA here) at IDEAL, the church in Palencia.

Our serving here has been a real blessing for Davis, Evelyn and me. We have enjoyed the work with the women, children and men. We have also made many new friends, just on our team. We look forward to those friendships extending further once back at home.

The one thing about coming back a second year is to see the progress that has been made, not just by our team, but by other teams that participate in the ministry in Palencia. The progress at the school is such an encouragement. They are adding a grade in the next year and we look forward to seeing how God will continue to work in this place.

p.s. Sue, the statue is still there. And he asked about you.
