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)
Today, Eduardo came over early so I could help him with his math.  When he came over,  he told me he needed a pencil and eraser.  I told him he didn't need help, he needed the tools.  We helped him for an hour, then went to P.E.  Then we built one of the four shelves in the bodegga (What we call a pantry).  That took us the better part of the day, and me and my dad learned a little bit how to work with metal.  We had Quiecho come and weld it for us.  While we were working on the shelves, we had a lot of time to talk with Raul, and we learned some interesting things about him and his dad while they were in the special forces in Korea. I then went to guitar lessons for an hour.  I also got some Spanish grammar from Santos, and I was teaching him some English grammar. This evening the first 2 leaders from Bent Tree arrived to prepare for the rest of the Bent Tree youth teams that all come in June-Josh and Ricky. The first team arrives this Saturday. They got in late and had dinner with us...beans and rice.
yesterday Daveed and Santos got up early and ran 15 laps around the campus. probably about 4 miles and they ran fast and the campus is very hilly!

the Wadell boys got a flat tire on their motto and had to push it a long way home in the rain. they live at the bottom of a very steep hill that was slippery in the rain. "no problemo" they said
