I am so grateful for the staff at El Faro, and for the opportunity to serve and love another nation. Yet another piece of my heart is sown into another place. For 2012 I've left a piece in Haiti, Mexico, Uganda and now I add Guatemala to the list.
Quien es el rey de la selva? Se llama, J-e-s-ú-s.

This sweet girl painted a flower so delicately and gently on my hand, after I had painted their nails and painted flowers on their hands and faces. Such sweet moments. |

The sweet girls at Punta de Palma school in the village. Nothing I love more than adorable little girls speaking spanish and playing with me like I'm one of them. |

This sweet little girl Madi Rosa, in the pink dress with her pink bear took my words away. She was beautiful and the way she looked at me (like in this photo) broke my heart every time. This was our first day of working in the village at Sarita school, and I fell in love with the children and their warm and loving and inviting smiles. |

After painting heart treasure boxes, the teachers allowed the kids to leave their mark. The kids put their hands in their paint so excitedly and then ran to the wall, to leave a little piece of their legacy. |
