Exciting News - Going Back to Guatemala!!

I am going on another mission and I am so excited about it!! And also big news... Morgan is coming with me!! I had to get special permission from her school for her to be able to go and after many careful negotiations, she is going too!! And the biggest news... we are honored to be going with the famous Mamacita, Tricia!!! Please check out her blog post for all the wonderfully organized details!!!



We will be hosting a Christmas Party for the children at Casa Hogar Feliz, helping to assemble and distribute Tamale Baskets for Mayan Families and hosting a Christmas Party for 255 children at the Tierra Linda School! And, as all of you know, Tricia has each party planned out for these beautiful kids and we can't wait to have busy hands helping her out!!

There are many ways to help out if you are interested!! Check out Tricia's blog to sponsor a child or activity for the parties!!

I'm so excited to be going with you guys! I can't wait to meet you and Morgan!

BTW inasmuch as I am terrified of getting kidnapped on the way back from Pana to GC by myself to the airport, I want to coordinate my flight home with yours so we can drive together if that's okay?

Would you mind emailing me (or Tricia can if she has it) your departure flight info? Thank you!!!!!

How awesome! I would LOVE to do that. I think it's great Morgan gets to go too. She will never be the same in a wonderful way!

I am thankful I am getting to supply a ton of new beanie babies for these precious kiddos!

How awesome! I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to be able to participate. But right now is just not the time for my family. What an amazing, life changing experience that will be for Morgan.

I'm going to email Tricia again, as I sponsor the brother of one of her sponsor students and would love to coordinate with her.

Sarah,
I am so excited for you and Morgan. It sounds like a great experience.

I would like to ask that you say a prayer for our friend Kevin. As you know, we both have girls that are 16. Kevin is a 16 year old athlete who had a heart attack last week. His parents have taken him off life support today. He is making his way to heaven. Our whole community is so shaken by this. And Amanda is suffering so badly. We could use your prayers.

How awesome!!! That's incredible. Btw, I'm SOOOOO jealous your Sophie is out of diapers. I wasn't in a hurry to potty train, but now that we've started, I kinda just want it to be done already. And the allure of no more diapers...ahhh, a mom can dream.

Dena said...

I am sooooo jealous - I want to go SOOO badly but really need to check my schedule!!! Are you coming to Myrtle Beach in October??

Carrie, Rich and the Kids said...

That is amazing. I am so glad you and Morgan can share this special trip.
