A Twister of Fate: The End... But Only A Beginning.

Well I am sitting in my hotel in Miami as I write this. I have many feelings about being here... Some good, some sad... but all amazed. I have had an amazing trip that I am sure will change my life forever. Being in Guatemala for 5 weeks has really opened my eyes to many things such as people, the many different types and the interactions with others. Work, you don't know what work is until you see 1 woman trying to care for 11 babies and clean and cook at the same time or seeing an old man carrying what seems like a million pounds of sticks down the road on his back. Compassion, seeing all the teams work with the kids. Most of all, Love and friendship. The friends I have made these weeks are great and will be everlasting, I love them all so much and cannot wait to see them again.

Tomorrow I will meet the next team going to work in Guatemala, but they will leave without me. That thought is bitter sweet. I am sad that I will not get to be there for them and the kids and that will not get to meet them and interact with them, but I am happy because I know that the children will get more of the love and attention they desperately need even without me there. I know that the next teams will do a wonderful job!

On Sunday night I head back to Canada and to my family and friends. I am truly excited to see them! I can't wait to be able to do some "summer" stuff with them before this summer is over.
