Life in the Wind!

Since I returned to Guatemala, it feels like I have been running..............but it has been good and exciting!

We finished up with the spring break teams from Harding and Lipscomb Universities.  Dave and Susan Melllor did a great job of leading those teams and we had the opportunity to meet Jana, Susan's sister. 

The following Monday, the roads were closed to to protests so it pretty much shut everything down for the day. They had threatened to continue for the rest of the week but thankfully, it was only on Monday.

Then it is time to do laundry and pack for another adventure!

Kemmel and Lisa's sponsoring congregation, Eastside Church of Christ from Colorado Springs work with an orphanage and they invited me to go along this year. 

We left Chichi yesterday at 0700 and it took thirty minutes to get out of Chichi due to the traffic.  Then on the highway to the capital, it was pretty much stop-and-go a few feet.  But, we safely arrived and in time to grab a lunch of McDonalds and Subway.

After landing in Mexico, we needed to jump on a small plane to fly to Cozumel.  We sailed through customs without delay and then had just minutes to find the next terminal......we were filled with fear because we thought we may miss the flight.  Kemmel grabbed a taxi and explained our situation so the driver stepped on it and we arrived in time!!

We walked out to the twin prop and climbed on!  There was excitement in the air from making the flight!

 Getting ready for the props to fire up!

 Photo very blurry due to the vibration as were were getting cranked!  I shared my desire to fly and we talked about my conversations with Brenda, Doyle and Cary in Montellano..........another dream that I have!

 Ready for take off!

It was a quick thirty minute flight over to Cozumel.  Kemmel and Lisa had told me about pork chop tacos near where we were staying.........so we stopped over there and all I can say is, "If you do not eat there, you are really missing something!"  It was delicious!

The owner of the Air B&B found us as were were finishing dinner........of course it was not hard to spot us!  She and her husband helped us settle in and gave us a tour of the area.  Very nice and maintained.

A dream-catcher in the tree with a swing........good sport for afternoon reading.

We will play for the day and then meet the group for a week of work.

Stay tuned for more adventures!
