We are returning to Guatemala.
The second day in Guatemala Jonathan and I were planning our return trip to Guatemala. We both fell completely in love with the people and the beautiful country. We both felt so much peace, relaxation and joy from working with the children to walking on the streets. Consequently, we have now booked our next flight for early January so we can return to this amazing place. Anyone care to join us?

One more time...
Carson and I went to the wildwood boardwalk today after church for one last ride of the season. Carson had a great time riding the rides with his friends Carley and Joseph. 
What a ham! hmmm- I love this boy!

This is for you my beautiful blog christian friend.
BEAUTIFUL CHRISTIAN SISTER
'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
that a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean livin''
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.
When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain..
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.
When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!'
Pretty is as Pretty does... but beautiful is just plain beautiful!

I can not get these children out of my mind...
My daily thoughts about the children we met in Guatemala:
Are they warm at night when their sleeping?
Did they have enough or anything to eat?
What are they doing?
Are they healthy?
Are they safe?
Do they feel loved?
When can I see them again?
How can I help them?
Meet Kyndel and Pickel
Kyndel is our 8 year old springer spaniel. Carson loves to give Kyndel all his left over meals. 
Pickel is our 3 year old cat. Carson loves to play cat and mouse with pickle throughout the house.

Missing Guatemala
Well, we've been back 2 days now and I'm still trying to process all that we experienced in Guatemala. There were many "God" moments which were loaded with emotion and the touch of His Spirit. The faces of people and places we visited are still so vivid in my mind. It all seemed so surreal while we were there, and yet so very real. There are times that I find myself replaying in my head segments of each day which have impacted my life greatly. There is something about Guatemala that is drawing me back. We've already discussed when we will return for our next visit. Tonight we were watching video with some family members, going over the different events of our trip. Unfortunately, the video didn't do it justice as there is nothing like actually being there among the people, the children, the sights and the sounds. I have been inspired to rethink what is truly important in my life. Thank you, God, for giving us the opportunity to serve your people and to see your Spirit move in a foreign land. Please keep the spirit of what we experienced fresh in our hearts moving forward. Hone our wills to conform to Yours so that we can glorify Your Name and all that You are.

On Their Way Home!!
Hello Everyone! This is Becca blogging for Greta Jo. She and her crew are officially on their way home. (I came home earlier this week.) We all had a fabulous time. I told Gret I would post some pictures from our trip. Keep them in your prayers as they travel today. I know she is sssooo excited about seeing her angel Carson soon. She was trying to decide if she was going to wake him up tonight or see him first thing in the morning. He is so very sweet and special. Our children were our inspiration for this trip. We did this in honor of them.
Paula, me (Becca), and Gret - the Guatemamas
Dick and one of his kiddos - I love this picture...
Hermano Pedro - isn't it beautiful?
Me (Becca - but I guess you've picked up on that by now...) I am so thankful that the Lord brought us together.
All of the kids LOVED Daniel! And Daniel is an exceptional young man. He is a natural with the kids. He is fabulous - and so very kind. Daniel helped me while I was at the market. And he never did lose patience with me, even though I kept calling him Jonathan.
Peace and Hugs,
Becca
