Tommorrow my team goes to an orphanage, and we will do a work project there. Adios Hanna

drama drama drama.

for once in my life all the DRAMA is a good thing. Ive been here for 3 days (2 nights) we fly to Guatemala Tomorrow, and i have to be in the hotel lobby at 4 am! that's EARLY!! but I'm having so much fun. I'm a mime in the skit were doing "Spellbound: the Toy maker's son" (i think if you want to see it you can watch it on YouTube. rate this second I'm heading to Language training, and i know a lot more than i thought i did. I'm loving my room mates (Stephanie and Lacie) and my team (way to many to name...40 people including leaders.) i cannot wait to perform the drama. its 20 minutes long, and we had to learn it in 1 day. this morning we worked on perfecting it and we have more practice later. i love and miss everybody. Love Hanna

i have arrived.

joy and i are currently in Fort Lauterdale, Fl. I have met one of my room mates and we are currently waiting for our room key (were like one of the last rooms to get the key ;P go figure) i cannot wait to meet the rest of my team and get settled in. i WILL have Internet access in Guatemala (as far as i know) and i will update as much as possible. Love Hanna.

living the dream.

We left on Tuesday. we rove over a thousand miles throuh 7 states in two days. our first stop was georgia, we stayed tuesday night, then wednesday we headed for Orlando, Florida. e stayed in orlando for 3 days (wednesday, thursday, Friday) and had a truely magical time (Disney ;)). Now we are staying in a place in Napels, FLorida. (thankyou mr Oxley). we are driving to Miami on Moday, and i cannot wait to meet everyone. please pray for Joy and I as we g down to Guatemala. ♥♥Hanna

Ready or Not

my family is leaving TOMMORROW for florida. we are going to stop at sea world and bush gardens while were down there, but we are leaving in less than 24 hours. i still need to do some last minute packing and shopping but then were gone. i feel like im going to wake up and its going to be september 4, 2008 (the first day of school) again because this past year feels like a dream. i cannot wait to see how God is going to work in everyone's lives. keep praying ♥♥Hanna

A few days left.

sorry for not posting for a while, but I'I'm going to try to for the next couple of days. this is coming so fast. I'm sitting here thinking about when i first decided i wanted to do this back in January. my biggest fear was that my dad would say no, or that we wouldn't be able to get the money. those fears seem dumb now, because i knew this was what God wanted for my life so those things wouldn't happen. these next few days are going to be hectic. we are leaving for Miami, Florida on Tuesday (6/23) and were going to have a small family vacation, then before we know it, it'll be June 29 and we'll be dropped off at the hotel. i cannot wait, I'm so excited. ♥♥Hanna keep praying
