We've spent today packing for our trip to Guatemala, to Kansas City and to California. In addition, we're emptying out the refrigerator, leaving money so Jeff and Paula can pay our bills while we're gone, unplugging everything that doesn't need to be on during our absence and, in general, getting ready to leave the country for almost 3 weeks.
We are riding to Guatemala in the truck with Jeff, Paula and Emily. We're putting our suitcases inside trash bags and under a tarp in case it rains on the way. We're also taking empty bags so we can bring back more stuff--I have a long list of things to get while I'm stateside.
Pickup time in the morning is 7:00 a.m. We're heading to the church to meet up with about 40 Salvadorans who are going along to translate and help with follow-up; we hope to get on the road by 7:30. Stephen and Jeff had very little trouble crossing the border when just the two of them went, but it's not so easy with almost 50 people, their stuff, inflatables, etc. Please pray that everything will be smooth and easy without any unusual delays. We will be meeting the teams from the states at the hotel, including the group from ALBC, our home church.
We have now finished 6 weeks of Spanish classes and with this trip will have a 3-week break. It's great timing as our brains are worn out and it will do us good to be able to review what we've covered before we start up again. I've attached a picture of us with Beatriz from the restaurant where we took her for her birthday. We really miss her, but are slowly getting to know Guillermo.
Well, that's it for now--I just thought of another thing I need to do!
