We had to say goodbye to our friends in San Lucas this morning. It was sad and we will miss them. We will especially miss our new friend Marie. She opened our eyes to the struggle of the plight of the Mayan people and politics of the San Lucas community. She taught us what it really means to stand with someone and help carry their burdens. I will never forget her lesson that if an action is good and helps someone, just do it. It's amazing how many times we hamper ourselves with the need for social acceptance. I will post more about Marie later. For now we are working our way back to Guatemala city for our flight out tomorrow morning.

I'm sure it is hard to say goodbye to all of your new friends and the experiences you have had in Guatemala. But if it is any comfort at all you have 4 very excited kids here at home waiting for your return. Enjoy your last day and have a safe flight home. We will see you soon :-) Love Mom
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing adventure. I'm sure you learned a ton, but were glad to get back to your own family....and bed.
