We're in Guatemala

It's that time of year again------------ we meet with all of our coworkers for a week. This year we get to have our meeting in Guatemala. We arrived today. We flew in this afternoon.

We had a good flight, but hit some major turbulance about 25 minutes out of Guatemala City. I was glad when that was over! We left Mexico City this morning, flew down to Panama City and then flew from there back up to Guatemala City. Then we took a bus for about an hour to get to the hotel we're meeting at.

I've never been to Panama or Guatemala before. I must say, they were absolutely beautiful from our aerial view from the plane when we got close to landing. It's rainy season, so everything is bright green and lush. We flew over the Panama Canal. That was kind of neat.

It was so cute to hear the kids. We couldn't see anything during any of the flights until it was landing time because of thick cloud cover. But, as soon as we got out of the clouds for Guatemala, Faith exclaimed: "Wow! It's beautiful!"

The kids really enjoy flying to various places. Meggie's not feeling so well. She got a fever yesterday afternoon, so she's on fever meds. But, when we got in the bus to drive here, she said, "I really like these places". She's so "content" in latin america...........

I don't have any new "work updates", but wanted to mention we are here.
It should be a good week. The kids are really looking forward to a week of VBS and fun. The hotel is very beautiful and peaceful.

We woke up at 2 a.m. and "officially" got up (LOL) at 3 a.m. this morning. We are TIRED! We had to leave for the airport at 4 a.m. We barely made the connection in Panama. We only had 30 minutes between landing and taking off. It's a small airport, but it was still very close! The plane was already boarded when we got to the gate.

Ok, enough of this boring stuff. Ha!
I'll try to post a little more on and off this week about our people group and relationships we have begun to form with them.
