We had 3 flights on Wednesday and the last was pretty turbulent, came home during a storm. When we landed, we all clapped and then sang "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow". My favorite part of the trip was staying at La Bendicion! We even got to celebrate Dan Smith's birthday with him and someone lit off a bunch of firecrackers. It was another inspiring and God-glorifying trip! Hey Sue,

If there's anyone who's just itching to go back right away, I am trying to find a travel companion (female) who would like to spend time in Antigua and other touristy places for a week in August. Probably Dan and Heidi will no longer be there(?) After five visits, I really, really want to see more of the country. This would in no way prevent me from returning on a mission trip in the future. I am an experienced international traveler who speaks Spanish....have traveled alone in foreign countries but would prefer not to!

It sounds like it is quite different from when we were there a few years back in the winter. God does amazing things using ordinary Christians, blessing us as we bless others! Trips there always enrich my faith in our Lord. Eager to hear your impressions! Nancy, I’m hoping that you are enjoying your trip!

What an adventure. I am so very fond of Margarita's son Brandon; he is a nice kid and I enjoyed chatting with him in the back of the van en route to clinic during our week. As for the food dilemma, trust me, it will all come out. It's the rate of exit you need to pray about! Praise God nobody got hurt when the van lost traction! There are some places on the roads where you could plunge many, many feet to certain death!! Wow! What an adventure.

Yeah, Dan has a streak of smart aleck, I agree, but we all love him so! I kind of LIKED the big bug; only saw butterflies when we were there June9-16. I'm eager to return, and want to go as a tourist sometime as well as the mission trips! I have put up a Facebook site called "Paradise Bound Alumni" and would love to see your team on it!

I just got back from my first Guatemala trip two weeks ago, and even before we left, I was homesick for it. Just seeing your pictures makes me miss it all the more. I love Guatemala so much: the people, the many experiences and adventures, the food (rice and beans…mmmm), the work, and the way we had the opportunity to touch so many peoples lives and show them God’s love. I plan to go back again, hopefully very soon. I was even tempted to ‘accidentally’ miss the flight home! Hope you all have a safe, exciting, memorable, and God-filled trip. -Jessie, Team Rockford- Team Allendale,

Loved your article. I had to have Tina read it to me over the phone Sunday morning b/c we were up north. We're so glad to hear things are going well. I have a feeling you'll want to go back. I know you. We're counting down to when we see you Wednesday and get a detailed report on your week. All our love, Dad and Mom Hi, Elyse!
