3 days and counting...

Well we have three days until we leave for Guatemala. For those of you that haven't heard about this, here's the scoop. We (Ofelia, Katherine, Kalin, and I) are going on a short-term mission trip with our church to Guatemala over spring break. We will be working at the Casa Para Ninos Aleluya orphange. Our flight leaves Friday (3/20) morning at 6:00 am and we'll return the following Friday (3/27) evening around 9:30 pm. We'll be working on rehabbing some living quarters for a family from our church that will be moving down to Guatemala in June to become full-time missionaries. We'll be working on their housing in the mornings and then in the afternoons we'll be working with all the kids. This orphanage has around 400 kids (it's set up almost like a small town). Many of the kids have come from very abusive families. If you would like to see more about the orphanage, visit their website at www.casaparaninos.com. We'll take plenty of pictures and I'll post some of them once we return. Please pray for us to have a safe and meaningful trip.
