Another week.....

Seriously, you guys, you have got to be the sweetest, most loyal, supportive friends in the world...thanks for your e-mails checking on us and phone calls too ( and for friends here in Guatemala who offered to baby-sit, come to visit, grocery shop...we felt so loved, thank you!)...we are alive and kicking and gearing up for a busy week ahead of us! My brother Caleb was here for the past two weeks ( he stayed on when the mission team from my home church left) and we have been sicker than sick with some wretched bug and literally would go from the bed, to the couch to the sprite bottle (on the good days)...yeah, not a fun one and it hit all three of us! I kept telling Caleb how sorry I was he was so sick ( he was the sickest of all of us, for two weeks straight) as I knew his "To Do" list for his time in Guatie was long and detailed and instead he was sick on my couch and he just kept saying "Heck, I love being sick with you!" Talk about a true brother to the core! Yesterday was our first really "well" day and we hit the town, walked for hours, ate dinner at good ole' Pollo Campero and treated ourselves to unbelievable chocalate crepes!!!!


Caleb left early this morning at 4:00 and Madi and I went to church and then met friends in the park to say goodbye to another good friend who is going home after living here during the adoption process for their twin girls! Another unbelievable couple with a testimony that would bring tears to your eyes...I could write a book full of the testimonies I have seen and heard during my time in Guatemala! Seriously!!

.....Matt, Emily and GIRLS!



Madi is so cute...she loves to worship and last Sunday I looked down and she was raising her hands to one of the songs, I totally cried of course...tears that turned to laughter later that day when she solemnly raised her hands to Dora the Explorer's theme song! Oh well, can't win them all!
