First Trip to Guatemala

Some thoughts from Guatemala City...
- Flying in you see mountains and lush green landscape...very fertile...very beautiful.
- Children everywhere when you step outside the airport grabbing for a piece of your luggage so you'll hand them a buck...very stressful, unexpected, and sad...I'll be more prepared next time.
- Cities with 4 million plus people look pretty similar everywhere...especially inside the Marriott lobby
- We were supposed to hang out with our future son for a day or so, but were told that he was admitted to the hospital yesterday because he was shaking...no matter how you hear it, it's a scarry thought.
- Our contact down here whisked us to the hospital, to the children's ward, and briefed us on how we were going to get in. We ended up on a floor with hundreds of children, in a hospital, in a developing nation (new term for third world) praying over dozens of children individually. I can't put into words what this experience was like...but I can say God's hand is all over this and we were in a position to be usable by him yesterday afternoon.
- we have such a peace about the goings on here...
