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.

Yesterday, we went up on to the other apartments, the ones that don't have any stairs to get up there.  We climbed a ladder and went up there to sweep the front porch/deck.  And while we were up there we went into one of the apartments and discovered bats.  And not baseball bats, real live vampire bats.  There was a reason I was the only one in our family brave enough to climb up the ladder to take a picture.  When I first took the pictures I didn't look at them too closely, but when I got out of the apartments and looked at them, I figured that was enough pictures.


Mr. Bell went into Guatemala city for a surgery Thursday.  He had some strings removed from his last surgery.  So for over a week he was not able to lift anything that weighed more than a gallon of milk.  So Mr. Bell is doing a lot of directing the next few weeks.  That slows us down a lot when Mr. Bell can't lift things around the campus. 


Lately I have been doing a lot of work around campus.  Waking up at 7:00 and going to bed at 11:00.  But I'm OK with that because it is cool I think to have put your mark on the campus.  When I come down with a team, it will be cool to say, "I helped with that" or "I've been there". 


That's mostly all,
Type to you guys soon,
Wil

Prepping Josue's roof.  Only Josue, Raul, and Me, showed up to finish the next day.  We painted 5 gallons of silicone on the roof to keep it from leaking.
