An update

el jefe con su cafe (The boss with his coffee)

Well it has been a while since I have written. Part of this is because we have been busy and part of this is because I am full of mixed emotions and I am not sure how to express what I am feeling. We are excited to be going home but sad because we are going to miss it here. We are really going to miss our friends and the boys at the school.
Last week there was a group of 18 people here from Wisconsin with many different skills and all kinds of work and activities were accomplished. They had counselors who met with many individuals needing help, and who also presented a 3 day marriage conference for the people of Guatemala. We had a couple of med students who worked at the clinic teaching about diabetes and gave many people in the community glasses. A few members of the group were teachers and worked at a local school teaching math and music together through fractions. There was an electrician who came and helped at the vocational school. And several young men in the group who are in school preparing to become pastors were able to come and preach at churches as well as give classes on techniques for studying the Bible.
This is just a summary of what happened and there was much more that I can not even begin to write all down. We were blessed to be a part of this and our kids were blessed as they showered them with love and attention. It is always amazing to meet and work alongside other brothers and sisters in Christ!
We are now beginning to start wrapping up our time here in Guatemala. I am sorry if this post has lacked emotion but I am still in the processing mode. But I didn't want you all to think we were lost somewhere. We are doing well and making the most of our last 8 days here!
I hope to be able to post more soon!
