We are currently sitting in the Guatemalan airport waiting to come home, but until it arrives i will inform you on our final night in Guatemala. It began with a full extra hour of sleeping....which was amazing....and then went on to a full day of playing with the kids. Unfortunately it was our last day and it rained the most...but that didn't stop us from going to watch the boys game in Parramos!!! We looked awesome walking through the town with different colored ponchos on, very authentic, right? The boys from the home ended up losing 6-1 but it was still an interesting adventure. It was also interesting that while we were watching the game there were cows and horses surrounding the goals. After the game we came home and the boys (after being kept inside for most of the day) decided to make a mini golf course throughout our house. It consisted of water jugs, chairs, benches, and suitcases. It kept every one entertained for a while, then the girls went over to the older girls house for a final time and made bracelets. We were told there was going to be a movie but that never happened....it was nice being able to hang out with them for a last night anyway. They are so beautiful and amazing!! After the girls house we had our final devotions and were able to watch a video that our tech guru (Jake Sturgis) made. It was an amazing video but also made it a lot harder for us to leave. Don't worry, it will be on YOUtube in no time...or on here if possible. We also had a fellow Minnesotan come and talk to us. She has been working at the home for a year and will be leaving soon. She told us that normally having groups come to the home is a lot more stress than help, but that our group helps out so much that they find it incredibly worth while and enjoyable.
This morning we woke up to our final breakfast in Guatemala. It was bittersweet for all of us, we all miss our families but when we get home we will miss our family in Guatemala also. We are boarding out plane now though so we will see you all soon enough!! Pray for safe travels please!!

Oh my goodness... That video was amazing. It was so wonderful to see, especially since I SO wish I could have joined all of you! It brought tears to my eyes, especially the end. God bless your travels, you might be almost home already!!
Love and prayer,
