Last week in USA

Hi everyone on our last day in the U.S.!  Tomorrow we will be flying back to Guatemala.  The time has gone so fast but as we look back we have been able to do so much during this time.  We are heading back refreshed and ready to get back to our work there.

Last week we traveled to Waukesha, Wisconsin and spent a week with Edgar's brother, Paco.  We enjoyed meeting our niece and Nathan had a fun time playing with his cousin Jeremiah.  Edgar also enjoyed going fishing for the first time!  On Sunday, Edgar was able to help his brother with the worship at the Spanish community group at their church.  It was hard to say goodbye! 

When we arrived back in PA, Edgar's sister and her family drove up from Virgina to spend the 4th of July holiday with us here and we enjoyed our time with them and our niece and nephews.  

Please pray for safe and uneventful travels for us today and tomorrow as we begin our journey back to Guatemala.

Second and Third Weeks in the US!

Our time here in the U.S. has been going so quickly and we have been having such a wonderful time. 
This past week we were able to visit Concord Presbyterian Church, who have supported us since 2007! It was wonderful to give an update on what we are doing and to see and visit with old friends.  The church always makes us feel like we are coming home.  We are excited to go back on Monday to help with their vacation Bible school!

Please be praying for us this weekend as we go to New Bedford Presbyterian Church on Sunday to share a Guatemala update (looking forward to seeing all our friends from there!)
We will also be leaving on Tuesday to drive 9 hours to Wisconsin!  We will be visiting with Edgar's brother, Paco, and his family!  Pray for safe and easy travels!
Thank you to all who have supported us and our ministry!  We are so blessed to have you as part of our team!

Many Blessings
Laura, Edgar and Nathan Cojon

 Having some fun at Idewild Park with the family this week!

First week in PA

We have really enjoyed our first week here in Pennsylvania!  We have spent some wonderful time visiting with our immediate family and Nathan has enjoyed having his aunts and grandparents around to play with! (and mom and dad have enjoyed that also!)

Last Sunday we were able to visit our friends at Ignite Church in Rochester, PA.  It was wonderful seeing them again and getting to worship together.  We are excited for them to come to Guatemala in August.   

This week we were also able to meet some new people at the missions committee meeting for Mt. Carmel Presbyterian Church.  It was great to share with them about our work in Guatemala and we hope that we can form a partnership with them in the future!

We have a new prayer card with an updated picture, because Nathan is growing up way to fast!  If you would like us to mail you a copy send me an email!

Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we look for new partners to support our ministry.  We are excited about what God is going to do during this time!

Thank you for all of you who have joined our team and are helping advance the Good News in Guatemala!

New Ministries, New Partners

It is hard for me to believe that I have been living in Guatemala for eight years now.  The time has passed so quickly and yet I also feel like Guatemala has always been a part of my life.  When I came here in 2004, little did I know what this adventure would become.  I planned on staying just one year to work as a teacher at the Christian Academy of Guatemala.  It was so hard leaving friends and family.  I knew that this is where God wanted me to be but I counted the days until my return to the United States.  But then, one year turned into two and two to three and before I knew it Guatemala had become as much my home as the United States.   I got married and began a family.  Now as a family our missionary work is continuing and expanding.

Many of you have received our update letters this year talking about our new ministries.  Edgar graduated from SETECA in October with a degree in Theology and emphasis in music.  We have teamed with Manna Worldwide where we are blessed to live at and run their guest house and have hosted many teams this year.  Edgar is the assistant pastor at a church plant in Ciudad Quetzal that began services in January 2011.  I am continuing to teach high school math and science at the Christian Academy of Guatemala.

 

As we began working on these new ministries we have realized that the time has come to raise more support.  Now as a family of three and embarking on new and very needy ministries, our support need has increased.  We are looking to find new monthly partners who would like to support our ministry and work here. 

If you are interested in becoming one of our monthly partners and become involved in the work that is being done here in Guatemala please go to www.cten.org/laurascott to make a donation or mail to the address below.  Also if you know of someone who would be interested in joining our team, please pass our information along. 

We will be making a trip to the U.S. the month of June with the purpose of meeting with some of you or your churches to talk about our ministry.  Currently we hope to visit different areas of Virginia and Pennsylvania but will be able to travel to different locations to meet with some of you.  If you think there might be a possibility for us to share at your church, Sunday school class or home group, we would be delighted to come.  Please send me an email at laurascott@cten.org or a facebook message!
