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.

Typing with Wil

(wil)
Yesterday it almost rained. Even Mrs. Bell thought it was going to rain. 
There was lightning everywhere and windy.  The wind was coming over the mountains so fast it sounded like a jet engine.  And it came out of nowhere.  But, it didn't rain.

Today was work-day-Saturday.  And we had to pull out all of the grass around the cafeteria/church.  Gloria gave all of the girls a working hat. (we don't know what it is used for)  When we first came outside, all of the girls were wearing one, so mom went back and got hers that Gloria gave her yesterday.  They said that Gloria made these hats herself.
After I helped pull up some grass in the front of the church, I went to the apartments to help them paint the walls.  I painted around the A/C unit, and on the highest wall.  We got dos whole walls done and one bathroom.










After that, we went to a new restaurant called Establos.  I thought it was OK.  I have been to better places before. But the food was good. 

After we got home, Santos stopped by our house.  And we talked about his new job, and how he doesn't get any free time or days.  And he really doesn't, we haven't seen him in a week. 

We are now playing cribbage and getting ready for bed.  We will probably be painting tomorrow too. 

I am still waiting for that big rain storm to come!  When it does I will post pictures for you guys. 

That's all for today,
Type to you guys soon,
Wil
