We're home after a very quick week. Quite a few of us feel like this week went so quick. I have more to share and pictures to share, but it's late and I'm really trying to get unpacked.
As always, it was an amazing trip. I especially appreciated hearing Hermann talk about his vision and what exactly he's trying to accomplish there. Sometimes there I find myself forgetting that Guatemala really is a third world country - they treat us so well and sometimes it feels like the villages we visit are the exception. They aren't and there is so much need there on so many levels. Some need clean water and some need food, but on this trip I was struck how much uncertainty there is. Guatemala borders Honduras, where there are significant political issues. I was more keenly aware on this trip and the concern that some have about Chavez's attempt to expand his sphere of influence, shall we say.
We take our freedom to worship, to get news, to work hard and be compensated so much for granted. I appreciate what this team does day in and day out to transform there country starting where we all should - showing people that our only hope is in Jesus Christ.
We appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers. More soon.
