We made it in one piece!

December 15th
Hello everyone. We made it to Guatemala and so did our luggage. Praise God for smoothe, uneventful flights. And thanks again for all the prayer. (It is probably about time to start praying for our flights back.) Guatemala is beautiful and mountainous but the city is just a city and a poor one at that. Some 200 + people on the plane but somehow Randy and I were the LAST through Immigration. Go figure! Anyway we made it to our hotel despite the cab driver's driving ability. And now(24 hours later) we know that everyone here is a crazy driver! And there are no cross walks so you take your life in your hands if you want to walk anywhere. We got to our room around 3:00 and were called to the lobby to get Kate at 4:00. No rest for the weary! It was a sad, sweet experience to meet her foster mom, a grandmother who obviously loves Kate very much. She was in tears and told us she loved us. We will keep up with her i hope and send photos.
We have to run to the drugstore so i will write more later.

Hi Lisa! She's a gem and we can't wait to see you all when you return! I am picturing you kissing the ground! Enjoy these precious days with her...it's a wild ride with 4 when you return. Love and hugs to you and your new baby girl! Oh, and why are you going to the drugstore? We'll pray she isn't sick! Enjoy!
