We traveled to the airport on Sunday morning, leaving our hotel at about 4am. It was about an hour to Guatemala City. It was a little spooky traveling in the dark, and when I questioned the safety, I learned our bus driver was armed. At that point, I realized that it had been an amazing trip, but I was ready to sleep in my own bed, hug my husband and daughters, drink tap water, and eat fully cooked chicken!
Our flights were all on time. The girls and Tim were waiting for me at the airport. That's such a nice feeling. All the years of traveling for business, I would see people being greeted by their loved ones at the airport and think how nice that was. But my family wasn't going to greet me every week at my midnight arrivals! So this was a treat! Nicole grabbed my hand and would not let go! And Ashley couldn't stop smiling and giggling!
They had made a welcome home sign and bought me flowers and made dinner for me!
Home Sweet Home!
And yet, a week later...I can't get the images of the people and places of Guatemala out of my mind. I know in my heart, I will go back someday!
Thank you to all the support and prayers from family and friends! I do believe that our trip made a difference. And your contributions were appreciated by the children and people of Guatemala. You have had a global impact!
With Gratitude,
Sondra
