8 years in Guatemala...

It is hard to believe that we have been here in Guatemala for 8 years. Here is a little of God's story in our lives over the last 8-10 years.

Our church had been sending teams and partnering with different missionaries in Guatemala for a few years and Jennifer decided to join one of these teams.

Through this trip she fell in love with Guatemala and the work of Carlos and Thelma and especially of the cooking school which was just getting started.

This is a bad pic but only decent pic of our first trip down together Jennifer and I with our pastor. After this we knew God was calling us to move and later that year in June we sold all our stuff and moved our family to Magdalena, Guatemala. A little more about this call and our first post on this blog.

Our sending off service in June of 2012 when Caleb puked on me ;-)
