Lights

Today has mostly been a travel day. Our first flight was only delayed once and we only had one bag go missing (for a short period of time!) Its been fun going through the experience and excitement of traveling to Guatemala again. I was even able to  squeeze in a coffee from Starbucks before leaving the country.  Our flight was also delayed to Guatemala but only by about 30 minutes, so smooth sailing for the most part!

Have you ever seen this picture before?



I've seen it several times and I just think it's a cool picture. Hard to imagine those dark spots, but I thought it was cool how much light we had in our country. 

Today, we flew to Guatemala at night time. First time seeing this for me, but as I looked out the window (and try to figure out where we are) I notice that it's really dark. As we're passing over the land, there are only trickles of light every so often. I wouldn't even call them city lights, more like fires going. Seeing this in person, has started off this trip on a very humbling step for me.

The beauty of Guatemala city at night is amazing to see though! We had a bit of a scary landing, but other than that we are safe! It was complete chaos when we got back sorting through the supplies and getting packed up for our clinic day tomorrow. But, as always, so much fun! We've also got 300 pairs of shoes with us to hand out to children who desperately need them!

All in all, the first day of Project Guatemala has been a success!

Keep the prayers coming, every bit is greatly appreciated!
