SURPRISE – I am coming home! Hey friends and family – Sorry that I haven’t been blogging lately. I have been wanting to blog and share with everyone what is going on in life, but I have been wanting to spend my time with friends rather than on the computer.
Yes, tomorrow April 30th I will be landing on American soil! I can’t believe the end of the race is already here. We are leaving Panajachel at 6am and driving to Guatemala City (3+) hours away. Our flight is at noonish and we arrive in Fort Lauderdale, FL around 5pm. Most of us will be spending the night in Fort Lauderdale and then flying home on Thursday. So I will be back in NC on the 1st of May. After that I plan to spend lots of time with family and friends catching up and traveling. I will be posting blogs once I am home closing out the World Race and keeping you up to date on what happens when I get home.
A few quick points of fun times from debrief:
1. The whole squad got tested for parasites and I came back positive for Giardia and an intestinal infection. Only 6 out of 22 of us are free from 3rdworld critters in our bellies.
2. We debriefed reentry and what to expect and how to prepare. I got stuck on the first question, “Are you ready for the World Race to be over?”
3. Did “life planning” sort of like figuring out our spiritual gifts and how to use them in the real world.
4. “Fun Day Monday” – We headed to the beach/hotel for day of fun on the lake with each other and some sun. It was a great day off and of fellowship!
5. Now we are just packing and getting ready to head back to the states and into the great unknown.
Here is a pic from our final dinner together. For a scraggly group of world traveling missionaries we clean up pretty well!
Team Lego sharing the love!
