Gautemala?

Well, its not official yet but plans are being drawn up for my trip to Gautemala this summer for an m-trip. This trip has been on my mind for the past 6-7 months. I was chatting with one of my mentors about it (her son is one the m's in Gautemala) and I just need to give her dates for my timeframe. It will be totally different than China and Stoney Creek. At least I could get around speaking the language (ok...Stoney Creek was all English...hahhaaha). I have little Spanish. Hopefully, Ingrid can give me a crash course in Spanish. Not only that, she's from Gautemala! So, I'll be getting lots of my tips from her. I don't know where I'll be staying but if its in the city (which I doubt), it will be more or less free from roaches. Whoot!

So, I've been praying for this trip and slowly getting into the right frame of mind. I just need to get my butt going to get things done. Hahahha. So, tentative dates are June 26 - July 16. I'll miss the World Cup final though. What a shame. But working for the kingdom...it's all good.

In other things, I'm slowly absorbing the news from two days ago. I can't share with you what happened yet but please do pray for my family. Thank you. =)

Well, gotta get ready to go to work. Have a great week everyone!

blessings,
jos

EDITED: Just got some news that this trip will cost quite a bit. Right now, I'm running at least $1200 US and an additional $800 CDN for the flight. Anyone want to sponsor me? Let me know! =)
