The twins love baths and would stay in all day if I let them . Usually they get one bath a day but if they are driving me crazy I give them another one :) Whatever occupies them ......

On Saturday this plane

Luckily all of these people survived. Please pray that they find a new plane to continue there medical missionary work. They are just the most amazing people who have been traveling the world (mainly Guatemala) for 30 years as Medical Missionary Doctors.

Mission

FAVORITE PICS Interesting way to build a house

This is as traditional Mayan as it gets ... they even cover there head in this area



Guatemala City dump from the airplane




Eating with friends at Casa Santa Domingo . There was a earthquake while they were here




This sign was put up after the earthquake :)



Some of the kids that come to Homers everyday for food and education





These little boys walk over the river everyday to Homers house to get food 'cause there dad is in a wheelchair. Look at those eyes :(




When the plane landed they had police waiting because word had spread in the village that gringos were coming . The police had to make sure they didn't have drugs.






A school they stopped at





So cute


Love these boys .... so handsome !!







Mark and a few other guys from Church went to this village to prepare for a June mission trip.

FFF



Arianna in traditional Mayan clothes from the village of San Andrés Sajcabajá near Santa Cruz del Quiche .

More Pics of el salamar

JUTIAPA GUATEMALA











Our tour guide, translator, chef and friend Jorge Mario. He has become like family to us . He started with us when we moved to Guatemala and he had NO idea what he was getting into !! :)

Trying to find Jutiapa

The twins were born in Moyuta, Jutiapa



Scenery of Jutiapa

It is very hot and dry in jutiapa. It is considered the "wild west" of Guatemala. The men are very "machismo" (sp?)



They stopped and ate at a restuarant in Moyuta


How cool is that !!??


This is the road heading to the village of Salamar where the twins were born

A store in Salamar


A church in the village of Salamar



Driving up to the house


The house where twins were born
Leaving a quick as possible but still snapping pictures :)
One part of the story I forgot to mention is that we were told that the Bmother was from El Salvador. Which makes perfect sense because from the house where the babies were born you can see the border. I am still not sure if I have absorbed all of this :) All of you with Jutiapa babies .... feel free to copy these pictures !! I will post a slideshow with the pictures of Quiche (where Mark went to prepare for a June mission trip our church will be taking ) later.
