Grateful.
So thankful for a last-minute change in plans that allowed me to chaperone. We had been praying a spot would open up—we just didn’t know it would be 48 hours before we left. What a gift to go on this trip with Arborbrook Christian Academy and my daughter Hannah (and her friends).
Those of you who know mission trips understand what they do for your heart and your perspective on this world and on life.
Thank you, Mrs. Mac, for asking me, and thank you to the entire team of chaperones.
Thank you, Hannah… for wanting me to be there with you and your friends, for making it fun, and for absolutely melting my heart as I watched you serve the orphans, the families, and the kids from the village of Santa María de Jesús. You truly are the hands and feet of Jesus, and you have a servant’s heart.
Thank you to every single student. I am so proud of how you follow Jesus—it shows in your attitude and your heart.
Thank you, Fontaine and Access Church. I love what you have built to serve the people of Guatemala.
Thank you, Boris, Emily, Allison, and the entire CRI team—for how you guided our experience and for your faithful service to your people. Thank you doctors and team for covering last minute for me to go!
I am forever changed.
