GUATEMALA

Wow! Last Month, we sent out a bunch of support letters and started on this journey of preparing for Guatemala. So raising over $5,000 seems alot for only 6 weeks, but it's definately possible.
We started recieving letters alomost immediatley, and on the day the fist payment of $630 each (1,260 total) had to be sent out (March 1), we had just enough. So if that seems like a lot $1,260 each ($2,200 total) is double that and in the same amount of time, 2 weeks.
Well, in the first of the two weeks (March 1-7)we were able to raise half of the total, but it was hard to see how the other half would show up, especially in a week and after doing all the calculations. We kept praying and Amazingly the next day, we got 3 checks in the mail that put us up over the top and into the 3rd payment of $630 each. And if we were able to get over $2,000 in two weeks, $630 in two weeks is no problem. That was last Friday.
Here we are, a month later, with all the money raised. Thank you everyone for your prayer and support. Continue to be praying for us as the trip is still 101 days away and we still have a few small details to work out, including transportation.
Dios le Bendiga!
