My parents had left the airport already and now I just had one more good-bye to give. It was four in the morning and my fiance and I were standing there staring at each other. Both of us unsure about what the next year would hold and neither one of us wanting to say "good-bye" first. That day I wrote in my journal that leaving her and everything I knew was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Now, looking back on the past two months, I have never been more certain of my purpose here in Guatemala. My time here as been so challenging and frustrating and heartbreaking it's hard to describe. But now I rest in the hope I have in the future. That is something I'm learning while being here. God is in control and my hope is in the unseen future and I carry the conviction of God's providence through it all.

I love you!
How thankful we are for the progress you made in the past two months. We pray in the days ahead will be more of joy, excitement and anticipation of the great things God has planned for you. The rains come, but afterwards the sun comes out and everything looks brighter. Just remember Jordan, the best it yet to come. We have experienced this. We love you.
