A Christmas Present For Kids In Guatemala: A School Uniform

Yesterday I had the privilege of riding along with a family that works with Advancing the Ministries of the Gospel (AMG) for the day.  We drove to a rural part of Guatemala to hand out school uniforms to the students at one of the AMG schools. School starts in January so it was a huge blessing for these families to receive school uniforms for free.
School in Guatemala is free as long as you can pay for your uniform (blouse, sweater, skirt/pants, black shoes, and white socks) and school supplies (notebooks, pencils, pens, art supplies). Therefore school really isn't free at all....anyway these kids are now ready and able to attend school in January.

This is the Wilson family that serves with  AMG and other friends of the family that went with them to hand-out school uniforms.


Sunday I will fly to the states to spend three days with the Advancing the Ministries of the Gospel's board. It will be a great time for me to get to know the ministry better and for them to get to know me. I would appreciate your prayers as I take another step towards partnering with this organization.
