Hawatthia Jones and Byron Benitez, missionaries in Guatemala City, write, “This year, we were blessed to once again host teams from World English Institute (WEI). There were two teams. Again, we were highly impressed with the work that each of the teachers did while here. Needless to say, we continue to be sold on WEI!
“There were a total of 43 students signed up to attend the classes. We had a total of 12 teachers, six teachers on each team, over a span of four weeks. The hotel where the teams stayed gave us a meeting room for the studies each day without additional cost. This was a significant savings. It was also a benefit to the hotel in that several of their employees were able to take these classes. We were able to make many positive contacts in the hotel.
“In addition to all the good that was taking place, we were able to see fruit born from the seed that had been planted. One student, Guadalupe Granados de Alba de Perez, decided to be baptized. Lupita, as she is called, was a returning WEI student from last year. She has always shown great eagerness in learning English, but also in learning from God’s word.
“We are thankful for the combined efforts of the teachers who planted the seed in her heart that resulted in fruit unto the Lord.”
Hawatthia and Byron conclude, “We now have several good contacts as a result of the good work done by both of these WEI teams. Thank you, brothers and sisters from WEI, for your good work and labor of love.”
