About Me

Dear friends, We began this blog in the summer of 2012 when our family was called to step "out" of our "normal" life as we lived it in Carrollton Texas and serve for 3 months at Housesofhope.org orphanage in Zacapa, Guatemala. A simple blog for our friends and family to stay in touch during our short journey. Since that season we have decided we will use this as a means to continue to log our journey, share our stories and create a platform to champion what inspires us. We hope you enjoy and pray that you are encouraged into action and deeper reflection on family and faith.

Hot water?



Sorry, this is sideways but you gotta check this out.  There are no hot water heaters in Guatemala.  So, they hook up these little electric water heaters right to the shower head.  Can you see how the electricity is hooked from the light bulb?  And the ground wire is just a wire hooked through an eye hook screwed to the ceiling?  If you accidentally touch the device while you are showering it electrocutes you.  Personally, I prefer the cold showers here . . .

  2. Oh. wow. I may have guilt when I go to take a shower in a few minutes! But I won't get electrocuted!
