Guatemala Story - New Update

My daughter, Taylor Ann, is doing fine in Guatemala on her mission trip. She posted living proof earlier today:

Yep - that's my Taylor. Here is some evidence she is actually learning some handy life skills:

Okay, so her big work partner has a big shovel and Taylor has a tiny trowel - big deal. She did help transport 200 or so bricks to the orphanage construction site, too. Just workin' on her biceps!

Here are a few of my favorite quotes from Taylor's new posting:

"I’m doing great. I haven’t gotten sick yet and I am trying all of the food, well, except for the beans!"

"We work so hard on the service team I have a ton of scratches and bruises! Today we’re going to work on the house for the widow and her five kids! I’m really excited to participate in the building of that house!"

" [We] found a pig by the church! It is one of the people's in the town. I asked the little boy if I could have it, but he said it was his mom's! He told us it didn’t have a name so we named is Spencer! I’m in love with it. I want to bring him home he's really little - maybe a foot long!"

"Yesterday we shaved our legs in the rain we got drenched but it was a blast!"


Well - all for now. As you can see, Taylor has a way of finding her own path wherever she is, whoever she is with and whatever she is doing - one big bundle of fun. I am very proud of her for sharing her special gifts with the world.
