I hope this E mail finds you well and that you had a happy Easter holiday.

I thought you and others who remember Abel might like to know that his Permanent Resident Application was approved and he was given a Green Card. It arrived in the mail the week before Easter. I waited until we were out for dinner on Easter Sunday to give it to him at the restaurant. Here are some photos of the moment when he realized what was in the envelope. Naturally he is very happy. We appreciate the IAC's support and prayers.

Marco continues to be very happy in Guatemala. I divide my time between my place in Hudson and my apartment in Guatemala City. Marco and I have spent many long weekends traveling around Central America. When I return there in the summer he and I are going to open a " coffee house " in San Antonio near the Pacific Coast. He talked me into it because it sounds like an interesting adventure.

We never forget you all. When I do get to a meeting in the future I will have gifts for everyone.

Best to all, Bill, Marco & Abel
