1. God could not have put together a more perfect team of amazing women, ranging in age from 11 to over 70.
2. He could not have sent us to a more perfect place and blessed us with amazing weather, only 1 afternoon of soaking rain in a week that was predicted to rain every day. This allowed us to work comfortably on the grounds and to do activities with the children in wide open spaces.
3. We have worked hard, laughed hard, given much and received more, and shed a few tears of gratitude.
We each leave behind a piece of our hearts, yet will return with an even larger piece of Guatemala within each of us. To be welcomed by children, who have experienced horrors none of us wants to imagine, with open arms, love and trust is simply staggering. May God continue to bless NPH with the resources they need to continue serving these beacons of light and hope, and may he show each member of our team how to best share this experience with others.
