Johnathon and I will be leaving early Sunday morning for a mission trip to Guatemala...I don't know how to spell the city's name. We will be working on building projects for an orphanage. It will be lots-o-fun! I think I am more excited about this trip than our vacation to the Bahama's last year. It will be a short trip (7 days).
This will be J's first mission trip and I keep trying to psych him out with mission trip factoids that I have stored up from my previous trips. Like: bring a hanger to fish out the toilet paper because you can't flush it, NEVER go to an under developed country without Duct tape and Baby wipes. Other things like...he was cutting the sleeves off an old shirt to bring for painting and I told him a true missionary would not waste the sleeves but recycle them for a different use i.e. a bandanna, wash rag, napkin, you name it. I'm pretty sure he is very impressed with my knowledge and wisdom about such things-as you can see in the picture above.
