Good news from Soila and Jeff!


Greetings to all of you as we come to the end of July. I hope that you are all enjoying these weeks of summer.

I wanted to take the opportunity to let all of you know that Jeff and I finished our time with SEMILLA in Guatemala on June 9th. We went back to Honduras for around a month to process our last documents at the US Embassy in Tegucigalpa. Thanks for all your prayers and support that you have given to Jeff and I while going through the visa process. Thanks to God we got the visa during the first week of the political situation in Honduras. In spite of everything that was happening in Honduras, the US consular section stayed open and we were able to finish all of the necessary documentation.

We arrived in Lancaster, PA on July 14th. and we were grateful to experience no problems going through customs at the Miami Airport. Here in Lancaster there are some job opportunities for me to work and we are also happy that Jeff got a job to teach Spanish with Conestoga Valley School District. He did the interviews through skype while we were still in Tegucigalpa.

I'm also thankful for your prayers for the people in Honduras and the political situation right now that sadly is affecting the majority of Hondurans (the poor more than anyone else). We hope that the situation improves in Honduras and that the best interests of Honduras are pursued and not just those of one particular side of the conflict.

During the last week of August we will be moving to our own place, which will be temporary (month by month) until we know for sure where I'll be working. We don't have a phone number yet but this will be our address in case you want to find us:

Soila Matute and Jeff Eshleman
1610 Morningside Dr.
Lancaster, PA 17602

I look forward to hearing from you.
