Dear Friends,

We are appreciative of the greetings and encouragements from many friends. We are also grateful for the generosity from several people; we have established a separate account that will go directly to our new neighbors, possibly for food, medical needs, or other important or devastating expenses. As we anticipate the next years, the promise of prayer support is encouraging as we follow God’s leading.

The plans for renting our home have changed. We’ve been advised to get a storage unit for our personal things and literally move out. We have purchased airline tickets and we will leave for Guatemala on September 9. We are impatient for this date, but we have multiple months of work to squeeze into a few weeks.

We have a small house rented with indoor and outdoor bathroom (not sure if we can call it a two bathroom house?). I can say it is a 2 bedroom; the second bedroom will be used as a guest room and school room combination. Tutoring may have to start late if our guests sleep in.

We sent our paperwork for our visa to Guatemala in April and found out that we need to be there in person to receive them. We have been preapproved but need to be there in person for final approval. We have found a shipping company that for a reasonable cost will ship out tools and small appliances, etc. We started the process of organizing our things; it’s amazing how much stuff a person acquires in a lifetime.

Getting Ready

Hello to all:

We are busy getting ready for our big move to Guatemala. We have purchased airline tickets and we leave on Wednesday, September 9. We are excited for this new change in our lives. We have been busy with organizing and packing up things. We are planning on renting our house while we are gone. We are working with a management company that will oversee it while we are out of the country.

We will be living in the village of Chimazat near Santa Cruz Balanya'. This is in the highlands. If you are interested in keeping in contact with us; you can e-mail us at santkuyl (at) gmail (dot) com.

We will look forward to hearing from each of you.

Dennis and Sue Santkuyl
