Getting Back in the Groove

I've been back from Guatemala for 9 days now, and I'm still finding it hard to get back in the groove. Which, I guess, is probably a good thing. You know, I'm not letting the experience get pushed back so I forget about what I saw and experienced.

I would like to share a few photos with all of you.

First, here's some kids from the squatters area at our VBS.



Isn't that little girl precious? The corrugated tin/metal is very typical for "houses," especially those near the garbage dump. A typical street/alley? Scroll down...



Next time you complain about a roof leak or plumbing problems... be thankful you have a roof. Be thankful you have indoor plumbing.

I met so many amazing people... and the most adorable children.




By far, one of the most difficult things to witness is the people working in the garbage dump. They rummage through garbage for household items, toys, and things they can sell for recycling purposes.



I will try to post some more photos soon. Stay tuned.

Don't forget to be thankful.

I wish the people who were cramming for free handouts (undeservingly) at Vliet St could see these pics and realize that we have it made here in America........

People in impoverished Nations have nothing!!

Our suffering is nothing compared to their suffering! We are blessed with much while they fight for crumbs.

I wish people would stop complaining and stop being so greedy in Milwaukee.

Be Thankful and strive to do better my people.

Thanks for spreading some love, Amy.
Were you there through a church organization?
I hope all went well and it's good to have you back.

Amy I am glad you took that mission trip. I have friends who are on a 5 year trip to Guatemala. Such a different lifestyle than here.

Amy, I know exactly how you feel. Each time I get homne from Kentucky it takes me about a week to get back in the groove. I go over the pictures time and again just so that I won't forget what I saw there, who I met, who touched my life, who made me laugh.

A mission trip should always change you AND the persons that you served.
