December in Guatemala City  



Highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s

          Yes, serving missions can involve great sacrifice. However, in our case, weather is not one of them.

Casa de Dois Mega Church We have been attending a small branch about two hours from here the past two Sundays. Each time we do, we are taken back by the Casa de Dios Church building we pass on our way. Here is a view of their worship building. To gain some perspective of the size of this building, you need to look at the large parking areas which surround it. (The photos don't do justice to the actual size.) Another perspective comes from the inside photos below. Wikipedia says that as of 2011 Casa de Dios was attended by over 25,000 people. (I couldn't find more current statistics.) Additionally, they broadcast their services. Casa de Dios was founded on September 11, 1994 by Pastor Carlos "Cash" Luna and his wife Sonia Luna. (I love his nickname.)

 The New Coban Temple, January 2024 We went with three of the Communications Department people to Coban as they prepare for the open house of the new temple. One evening, I decided I had better eat what is considered to be the most traditional meal of Guatemala. It is a chicken leg stuck in a bowl of soup, black beans mixed with something that I wasn't able to identify, 3 tamales, rice and another side dish. I enjoyed it, but feel no need to have it again. Here is a photo of the new Coban temple.   It is small with only one ordinance room, one sealing room and a baptistry. It will be a huge blessing to the people in this part of Guatemala who have been very faithful in making the long bus trip to the temple in Guatemala City.
