I know I have been a slacker


Well, what can I say? I was gently reminded while we were in Guate that my blog had not been updated in over a month, I guess people really do come to my page. Unfortunately they don't leave comments so I really don't know who is reading this and really if I should keep it up. Oh well!


so...Hi Bob! :)


We had a great time down in Guatemala. You can check out the Wilson's to Guatemala on the side bar to read all about it. Highlights of the week? Well, we started off the week going to LA before heading down to Guate. Yes, you read that correctly! We had the choice of going to Miami and waiting until the following day for us to maybe getting a flight at 5:00 but the likelihood of that was pretty slim. The next option would be to wait until 7:00 the chances of that flight were a little better...this would have been by midnight on the 15 Guatemala time that we would have landed. No thanks! we would have missed a whole day. I really have no desire to spend a day or 2 in Miami. She kept on typing and finally looked up at us and said that we could go to LA at 5:00 PM and land around 8 catch the 11:00 flight to Guatemala and land there around 4:30. Simple right? well...we felt as if we were sailing and tacking the boat to get from point a to point b. I thought that coming home maybe we could go the opposite way! England maybe? :) Really though that wasn't the highlight of the week, just a tiring thing that happened! I guess we can laugh about it so that is a good thing.


The kids had a little bit of a time with us gone again, it was hard on them. I didn't think it would be, but I think that Tennessee was still fresh in their minds when we went down. They all tried to be so brave as they said goodbye to us. 2 out of 6 did great. They kept up with their busy schedules while we were gone which I think the people that were taking care of them were probably thankful when we were finally home too. Just so that they could get some rest!


I know that I have said this to everyone already but THANK YOU everyone who helped make this past week possible, between praying for us, watching our kids and carting them around for us! You are in this just as much as we are even though you don't think you are! Your support is such a blessing!

Thank you for updating Jen! I DO check this blog at least once a week. It's good to see and hear what God is doing in other parts of the world. Keep working hard! You are an encouragment!

So you went to LA again. Did you see Tim? ;)

I bet it was a challenge keeping up with the changing time zones! Good to have you back.
