Nearing the End.

I was hoping to have written more while I have been here in Guatemala but we have been so busy and any chance of downtime has been used up trying to either talk with Susan over Skype or relax and sleep. So I apologize for not keeping everyone in the loop. It’s 6:45am right now and I’m on the balcony of our hotel here in Antigua shooting a timelapse of an old church bell tower with one of the 4 volcanoes surrounding us. So I’m using the next 15 minutes I have to catch up.

My trip here has been both amazing and very heart wrenching. I’m almost glad I’m behind the camera as that allows me to kinda shut off the emotion for a bit and just concentrate on getting the shot but at the end of the day, there’s always time to reflect on what we filmed. I’ve seen poverty that would rival any third world country and certainly shock 99% of the people in the U.S. I’ve seen medical and nutritional needs that would amaze any social organization in America or any developing country. But I’ve seen people make astounding accomplishments with very little money and/or resources thats only explained by recognizing God’s grace, love and mercy. Even if you’re not a believer, you have to look at these stories that we’re capturing and recognize there is a higher power here at work that goes beyond mankind’s ability.

I would love to have the time to give examples or just briefly go through some examples but I’m going to wait till I get back so I can sift through all of what we captured. Right now, I have to concentrate on what we’re doing today and kinda put off what we’ve done and what we’re doing tomorrow. It’s hard to explain but this is a technique that I’ve found that works for me so I’m able to do my best out here.

I want to just thank everyone who have supported this effort both financially and in prayer. I hope you will get to see and understand what all you’ve helped us accomplish. Also I want to thank Susan who has let me go 2 weeks to be here and who I miss so much along with Aubrey, both of them I can’t wait to see in 4 days!
