What a week... or two... or three:)


Phew, where do I begin?  We haven’t written for about three weeks, we have had good intentions to but have been going non-stop.  Let’s see March 7th-11th we worked daily prepping for the Legacy Conference, an amazing youth gathering on the base where we live. We helped get everything ready, as well as we were super busy making baked goods and getting things ready to sell to the kids in order for us to raise funds for our Outreach.  During Legacy (march 12th and 13th) we made sure things went smoothly, ran small groups and had fun with the kids… as well as running of the snack shack were we sold goodies for our fundraising.  The 14th of March we packed up and left the base for San Pedro, Belize.  There we stayed on the base of Destination Paradise where we had class with their DTS listening to Dean Sherman speaking on Spiritual Warfare (one of the best lectures series we had).  Sarah and I stayed a couple extra days in San Pedro to try and wind down. Monday the 22nd we traveled back to Belmopan and began preparations for our upcoming Outreach (six weeks on the road in Guatemala and El Salvador), we also had another fundraiser to prep for and an event to help with.  March 26th and 27th was the YC 2010, a huge nation wide youth event.  We again sold stuff like baked goods, hot dogs, chips and dip, etc.  Sunday the 28th we finished up last minute packing stuff as well as a good thorough house cleaning.  I worked on the house while Sarah finalized finances for the team.  We found a little rest time, but before we knew it the day was over and Monday was upon us.  Monday we ran around finishing up all the little details, had a send off lunch, and then loaded the bus and began our 12-15 hour journey to Guatemala City.  The trip was long and left us pretty drained, but we arrived here this morning at 5:30 and have had a bit of time to get settled.  I am on the lookout for a place we might be able to get wifi for skype and so I will keep everyone posted but in the meantime keep an eye out for us on skype and hopefully we will be able to chat soon.  We love you all and send our blessings to everyone.  I will hopefully have a bit more time to let you all know what we will be doing here through the 9th of April.  And then from here we are heading to San Miguel, Antigua and San Salvador.  Good times!!!  Our thoughts are with you all, and before you know it we will be back stateside with many wonderful stories on to share.  Until then… Hasta Luego!
