Tuesday 10:20am
   Oh, man I don't even know were to begin. So I guess even though  people have already blogged from the begining, I'm going to give a quick over view from my point of veiw.
   So I was the only one in the whole group who had never been on a plane before. =\ I was super excited about going to the airport and was very suprised at how well everything went for a big group like ours! I loved the plane ride and I'm praying that everything goes just as well for us on the way home =)
  Now we are here in Guatemala! It's so hard to believe that we are actually here! The place we are staying in is way nicer than I was expecting. I was kind of expecting a one level home with cement floors, but this in like a four story building with nice tile floors, running water, and a beautiful view! However the places around us are not much, but at the same time it all looks beautiful!
   Yesterday and today we started VBS for the  kids at the schools! We have worked so hard to plan it all out. The first day (yesterday) went way bettter than I thought it would! The language barrior was hardly an issue. With just the little bit that we knew, we were able to make enough conversation (althought it would have been better if we knew more spanish). At the end of day one we told the kids to come up to us and we would give them candy before we left. I expected them to be all about the candy, but instead the all rushed up to us and gave us hugs and kisses and got the candy after =) It was so sweet and almost brought me to tears knowing how much the loved that we were there. Today was our last day with that group of kids. Tomorrow we will be on to a whole new school with different kids, which I am super excited about. But I'm sad that we won't be with the other kids again. I'm going to miss them like crazy!
  Oh, there is So much more I could say, but I can't possibly blog it all! Its been two Amazing days in Guatemala and I can't wait to see what else God has in store for us the rest of the week! Lets Get It!!!
  Oh, yes I have one more thing. One of  my highlights of yesterday was watching Katelyn wank in a glass door! And we are all have gotten lots of red sun. I think Chrie is the only one excited about that though, because that never happens to her! OK, I'm done! Bye!

  2. Okay, what does wank mean? Knowing my Katelyn I'm thinking she walked into a closed glass door! Am I right? Praying everyone stays healthy and safe!!!
