Wishing, Hoping, Praying

I am really missing Guatemala. Yesterday I spent my day at an amazing water park and had a BLAST! One of the guys that came along was wearing a souvenir on his wrist. It was a beaded bracelet that was CLEARLY from Guatemala. I got to talk to him about a little. Also a friend of mine that I met this summer is back at the orphanage with a team. I'm not sure of all the details, but I'm sure that she's at Casa Bernabe.

While I'm having an a grand ol' time here at home with school, family and other stuff, I'm not going to lie - I'm really missing CB. I wish I could wake up and get a million hugs in the morning. I'd like to talk to missionary friends about what they are learning, missing, wanting, enjoying, etc. I want to be there to help kids write their names. I want to be THERE!

Jim Elliot, the late missionary to Ecuador, said: Wherever you are be all there!

So for now - I guess I'm saying that I'm praying for Guatemala. I'm praying for the kiddos and their caretakers at CB.
