Well, let's just say in a short while my family's life is about to change! We will be leaving for a year in Guatemala in January! Many new things to learn, discover and walk through.... new language, new people, new culture, new school, new place to live, new laws, and many new adventures! So January will mark a major life changing experience for our whole family and we are excited to see what God will do in us and through us.
It all began last November when I went to Monjas Guatemala for the first time with a women's team from church. I fell in love with the orphanage we spent time at, with the people we met, the language, and everything about it! I cried as we left the orphanage after spending only 4 days there and my heart was broken for the girls and boys I had met! I cried the last few days in Antigua and kept thinking about what I could do and how I could be involved. God broke my heart for every child and teenager I had met there and I couldn't stop thinking about them. I cried when I got back home and even spoke in my sleep about Guatemala.... so the process began and my hubby and I both knew we needed to be involved somehow.
To make a long story short, we went as a family in the summer and made the decision to move there for a year.
We are excited, a bit nervous at times, but preparing for the big move.... many long lists, planning, and just trying to think of any thing else we need to do before moving. So I really should go now and do some of those things on my lists and I will write more another day....
Love you lots, whoever you are, and thanks for being interested in our story, which is really a God story that we get to be a part of. Talk to you soon, The Lindbergs
