Some of Our Favorite Moments So Far…

My favorite moment when I was out in ministry was when I gave apples to a homeless man who was collecting pop cans. He didn’t say anything, but I may have helped him greatly, or have been a good example to people that might’ve seen me.        -Tom Palumbo My favorite moment when I was out in ministry was…spending time at the orphanage. I really enjoyed spending time with kids who show some incredible, unbridled joy. Even if a language barrier exists, the communication that goes with music, drama, sports, and high...

The Last Few Days… by the Girls

We saw cows and chickens on the side of the road, and we took lots of pictures. After an hour of altitude sickness, we caught our first glimpse of beautiful Lake Atitlán and we were in awe of the sight.
