Dear family and friends, we want to thank God for another month that we were able to work for His Kingdom and we will like to share with you what has happened in our life and the ministry.

At the Academy we were able to graduate 3 of our Rinos that were with us from day one so, it was a big deal not only because we wont be able to see them every day but just to say goodbye was really hard, we know that God will be with them and we believe that the boys will do great and the time will come to see the fruit on those guys, so please keep them in your prayers, they are: Carlos Lopez, Josue Lobos and Alex Lopez. We were able as well to take this 3 boys for a date with their girlfriends and... it was a crazy! But an amazing time seeing the boys deal with the girls in another environment , it was hard for them but we believe that when they see us with our wives it'll help them see a better way to treat their girls, so please help us pray for those times, that we can have more like those times.

Also, we were able to celebrate the chrismas party with the Rinos and it was a time of joy, times like this they will never forget and we know it will stay on their hearts. Some of the boys were able to put together a nativity play for us and it was amazing! to see how the boys express their personally, great stuff!, I was very impressed of how the boys work as a team now.

Family Leiva News

We were able to spend some time with my Brother in Little Rock, Arkansas. It was a time were we can refresh and see how God is working in my brother's ministry: Leiva's Coffee in the States, we were able to spend some time as a family and Noah was able to have a great time with his cousins, he really loved it. We feel like God will keeps us more together as a family in many ways, it took us 2 years to be able to see them in the States but we know that God will find time that we can see them more often, it will be a blessing to our hearts.

Walda is doing better, working and trying to be ok with the sickness that she deals with every day, she is 5 months already and we are only trusting God that he is doing the miracle.

We know that every day here in Guatemala and special in Buena vista it's a different place we know that God it's calling us to grow and many ways. We were able to be in Savannah George for a week sharing about the ministry here in Guatemala its was a very cool time, we were able to stay with good friends  and people that we love. And have the time to get to know more people that love in respect what we do here in Guatemala.
It was a time to refresh and remind us that we are doing what God call us to do. We came back with more energy. Thank you for every one that make this happens. We love every one of you and we promise to keep going even do it get hard and difficult we know its the right thing to do. Let me share with you some pictures.

Starting a new tournament.

Starting a new adventure with the kids in Buena Vista, but this time with the ages of 10 to 13, we have 25 kids in this tournament, 5 teams of five all playing each other. for the champions will be having a party where we will have McDonalds for the winners something that they haven't had before.
When we told them they were so exciting and we invited kids from all the village they show up on time the first day and we organized the teams making one kid a captain and gave him a responsibility.
they love to be captains but they don't know how. I had to set so many rules and some time they don't agree with the rules but they love them hahaha. We have to be very strict about the rules and we had to send two kids home.  My wife and I wonder what they think about us...do they hate us for that or what!!!! but next day they came back and ask me if they can play, I told them on next tournament.
I feel they love to play but they don't know how to behave and respect others, we belive that every day God changes their hearts.
Every day we start with a devotional and all the kids must be on time because if they are not they will miss like 3 or 4 minutes on their game. hahah Julio and Elvis came late and ask me why and I told them the rules and they had to sit down and the other team score 2 goals and they were upset, you could see it in their eyes but they told me at the end of the game that they won't miss next time the devotional.
Please help me pray for these kids that God will break down the wall that doesn't let them see how nice and peaceful  is to be in the light.
