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.

Happy Mothers Day!
Or in Guatemala,  Feliz Dia de la Madre!
This is our second time celebrating this holiday.
Three of the Bell kids came over to our casa and made a surprise cake for their mom.
It is two layers, the bottom is chocolate, and the top is vanilla, with cookie crumbs in the middle.


Mom took us to lunch at Fancy's for Gigi's mothers day.  And for mom's mothers day, the three boys went and got a hair cut.  After wade and James got their hair cut they went across the street to play soccer with some kids.

Wade just saw him self in the mirror.

James forgot how to smile.






















Of course, I look the best





We stopped into Maxi-D on the way home, and while wade was in line to check out, he saw this man behind him.  So being wade he whispered to mom, "Do you think he is a gringo?"  The guy turned around and said, "Yes!"  So we started talking to him, he didn't know about house of hope, and we didn't know about his prosthetic arm company. 
And that is how the Anderson's make friends around here.  If we whisper things around you when we get home, it is because we are not used to people understanding us.





Well that's all for today folks.
Type to you guys soon,
Wil


The latest picture of Dulce

Gigi's feet swell up so big she can't put her shoes on.  any suggestions?

All of the kids put together a skit, dance, or reciting for the mom's.

This is the closest thing Gigi could get to being a Margarita.
