In the past week we’ve seen and done so much! We’ve made some new friends… Sang on a Guatemalan radio station, that our pastor runs… (we were all in there, it was just too hard to get everyone in the shot) Bought snacks from a local store… Hiked many miles to share God’s good news… And we’ve become closer through it all!

WOW it feels like so much longer than that. I got a...
