YES!!!!! You can say it is a "dream come true"...if one trip could do some of our "TOP" things on our "bucket-list"...this trip has the potential...
*get to see & experience Zach's birth country with him at a stage that he will remember ("Happy 5 years Home Day" TODAY, Precious Boy, oh, how we love you"!)
*meet our sponsor boy, about 5 years ago we started sponsoring him, he has "grown-up" with our family
*have our children see & experience people that do life with "less"
*serve as a family (we will see how much actual "serving" we get done with 9,6,3 year old children, but we are praying we can some)
*see some of the "ministry" my parents have been at for many years...they will be visiting Guatemala at the same time & we will get to connect with them & see several of the schools where they have advocated to get children sponsored
*and for an added bonus we get to go with my cousin's family, they adopted their daughter from Guatemala about the same time as Zach, here's Zach & Cristina shortly after they were both "home"..
We are excited to spend a part of our trip with this ministry, AMAZING what GOD is up to caring for HIS precious children in Guatemala!
