Dear Praying Friends,

            We are hoping that this letter finds you in good health. We are doing well. Doyle suffered a stroke in late September and another in October. He is doing much better now after almost three months in rehab. His speech was affected, but he can still talk enough to make his wishes known. Please continue to pray for him.

            The churches in Guatemala are doing well. In December they celebrated their Vacation Bible Schools. Bible Baptist in Quezaltenango had 202 enrolled for the week with 17 saved. Bible Baptist Mission in Cipresalles had 143 enrolled and 19 saved. Six of these were young people. Bible Baptist in Huehuetenango had 176 enrolled with 26 saved. The only one that didn't have a Vacation Bible School was Bible Baptist Mission in Capitarrilla from lack of funds to pay for it. They spent the money they had saved to buy a piece of property and to build a building to meet in. This work is averaging 75 to 80 every Sunday. Please pray for these young preachers as they lead their churches forward.

            One praise item is that the church in Huehuetenango now has their papers and can operate legally in the country and have their church property in the church's name. The church in Quezaltenango is still waiting for their papers, so pray that they will receive them soon.

                              We want to thank you for being so faithful in your prayers 

                 and support for us.

                                                        Yours in Him,

                                                Wanda and Doyle Whaley
