This was by far one of the most rewarding and enjoyable experiences I have had so far. We finally got around to delivering and fitting the children with the shoes that many of you from home donated. As you can see from the first picture, we laid the shoes out and let the children pick which pair they wanted. We tried them on, if they fit, they were theirs, if not they picked a new pair. They were so happy to get new shoes. Some kept them on, others put their old pairs on, or went barefoot and held their shoes in their arms. An absolutely priceless experience!

Sponsorship Program

Though we have a lot of fun here, believe it or not, we work even more. The best part about it is that work is fun, therefore LIFE=FUN!
On the Ortho Trip we stopped by one of the daycares we are working with to sponsor children. While there the children sang for us, should us the english words they were learning, hugged us and smiled with us. We gave each child a special little gift... a stuffed animal. The smiles on their faces were contagious and did nothing but warm the heart!
"Be the change you wish to see in the world."
Halloween
Dan and I were determined to have a Halloween party and decided that everyone HAD to wear a costume. We had to find items and make them into a costume and this is what we came up with...



Sausage Time
On our way to Billy's for some sausage making fun!





Orthopedic Trip
So some of these pictures are a little backwards, but that's how it works when I don't pay attention. These are some pictures from the group that was just here a few weeks ago. Though I spent a little time at the hospital, I didn't get any pictures there, so what I have are pics from the clinics and such!
These first 2 pictures are the Guatemala staff and volunteers. We are at breakfast the morning that we dropped everyone off at the airport!
