I have had the opportunity to go on a few mission trips but this was the first one out of the country with two of my children. My two older daughters went with me and go to minister side by side with me in Schools and orphanages all over Guatemala. My youngest daughter is especially good with the younger kids. She will had a great time and really bonded with some the children in the orphanage. My older daughter has thought about taking photos as a missionary for a while now and got some moving photos on this trip. They both worked with teenage girls who have been living at the same orphanage as one of our little friends was living in before he was apopted to a family here in Tennessee.My oldest daughter was not ready to come back home. Our prayers are still with the ministry there. My oldest daughter has decided to do her Senior project with Samaritan hands which is the ministry that we partnered with there in Guatemala.
