Only 39 days

Until we return to Guatemala. For my family of 4 it is a return and for the other 8 members of the Pennsylvania crew it is a new experience in the making.

July 17 we will be flying in to Guatemala City, Guatemala, riding a chicken bus (Guatemalan equivalent to school bus) to Antiqua, our home base for the mission. It is an approx. 1 hour bus ride out of the city, and winding up and down the mountains before the cobblestone streets signal we have arrived in Antiqua. The work starts immediately upon our arrival as all the tons of suitcases filled with donations need to be sorted for transport to Santa Maria on Monday morning, then let the games begin!

My family is so looking forward to sharing this mission experience with our friends who are able to join us. It is our hope that they will be blessed by the incredible people of Santa Maria as much as our family has been.
