I promised to share more Guatemala photos like, back in JUNE! Dude, where have I been?

Here are some more photos from my trip... done up digiscrap style:



















I think that's it for now. I will be posting more pages next week.

I've been back from Guatemala for 9 days now, and I'm still finding it hard to get back in the groove. Which, I guess, is probably a good thing. You know, I'm not letting the experience get pushed back so I forget about what I saw and experienced.

I would like to share a few photos with all of you.

First, here's some kids from the squatters area at our VBS.



Isn't that little girl precious? The corrugated tin/metal is very typical for "houses," especially those near the garbage dump. A typical street/alley? Scroll down...



Next time you complain about a roof leak or plumbing problems... be thankful you have a roof. Be thankful you have indoor plumbing.

I met so many amazing people... and the most adorable children.




By far, one of the most difficult things to witness is the people working in the garbage dump. They rummage through garbage for household items, toys, and things they can sell for recycling purposes.



I will try to post some more photos soon. Stay tuned.

Don't forget to be thankful.

I mentioned in my Christmas music blog post/comments that I love the song "Mary did you know?" I sang it in high school for a Christmas concert... here are the lyrics, courtesy: LyricsFreak.

Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Did you know
That your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
That your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered
Will soon deliver you

Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Did you know
That your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?
Did you know
That your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little boy
You've kissed the face of god

Mary, did you know?
The blind will see
The deaf will hear
And the dead will live again
The lame will leap
The dumb will speak
The praises of the lamb

Mary, did you know
That your baby boy is lord of all creation?
Did you know
That your baby boy will one day rules the nations?
Did you know
That your baby boy is heavens perfect lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding
Is the great I am
