Hola!

Traveling
through time and across the globe, we have finally reached our destination. Welcome
to Guatemala,
land of the little children peddlers, two hour long meals, and rain puddling
around our ankles. Sounds wonderful, does it not? We love it already.

We all woke
up at three am Wednesday morning for a two hour drive from Gainseville to Atlanta. We all made it
through customs...well, some of our peanut butter didn't. The airport had "gnarly
trashcans," according to Brennan. The plane left Atlanta
around 9:30 a.m. Eastern and arrived in Houston
at 10:45 a.m. Central time. After an hour delay in Houston, the plane finally took off around
12:30 p.m. Central time and took us to this beautiful land. Guatemala finally had the privilege
to meet us at 2 p.m. Mountain time.

Twisting
through the mountains gave us an interesting view of the land. We saw
waterfalls, volcanoes, sheep, goats, and women carrying baskets on their heads....
We made it here safely because God is always the real driver of life.  

We're staying
in a hotel in Panajachal for tonight awaiting tomorrow's boat ride to San Pedro
across Lake Atitlan..

We all love
each other bunches.

In case you
didn't know this, people speak Spanish here. We're having lots of fun
attempting to talk to everyone trying to sell us little trinkets. We don't
think they seem to understand "No" however.

Pictures
will come later...

Thanks for
your prayers! May God continue to bless you all!

Love,

Amber
