It was six months ago today that we said goodbye to my parents really early in the morning at the Midland airport and got on a plane for Guatemala. Several things are hard to believe- that we've been here half a year, that we've only been here half a year, that 1/4 of our commitment here is already behind us...
As Kara wrote about, the six month mark has not been quite as celebratory as we would have expected. Instead, it makes us miss home a bit more. But then when I think about all that the Lord has accomplished in these six months, I couldn't be more grateful. Kara and I are as close to each other as we ever have been, and we are sure that we're following the Lord in a very unique (although sometimes difficult) opportunity.
The next month will be an important one for us as we finally get started at the home. We've been working and waiting for this month for more than a year now, so we're anxious to see how it will go.
