These past 10 days have flown by. Things are a blur and yet there are so many moments that reside in my brain (read: my heart) with such amazing clarity.

Jose making it to the top of the climbing wall.
Crystal yelling “Net? Net!” for Nate because she’s just so in love with him.
Jody getting groped by Miguel.
Sammy joining my family.
Roca (quite likely) joining Scot’s family.
Rachael pouring herself out to every kid she comes in contact with.

This is going to sound cliché but I’m leaving a piece of my heart in Guatemala.

And because of that, I’ll have to come back.

Today we’re leaving for the airport at 4:15am (yikes), departing Guatemala at 7:00 am or so and arriving in Dallas around 11:45am. We’re hoping to get an earlier flight out of Dallas but who knows if that’ll work out. If it doesn’t we’ll arrive home in Indiana around 7pm.

Pray for smooth re-entries into normal everyday life for Scot and me. We’ve been living on mission, all day, every day for the past 10 days and, frankly, my emotions are threadbare.

I’ll likely have PMS (Post-Missions Syndrome) for the next few days so if I’m crabby, I’m sorry. Please bare with me.

See you soon.
