It's a small world

Even before we left Warsaw 3 days ago, Sarah was connected to Guatemala.

A friend from school who had been on a previous trip with Hands of Hope gave Sarah something to give to Jonathan, one of our translators here in Guatemala. Sarah promptly found him on Facebook and began chatting with him on Thursday night before we left.

She also added Trina as a friend on Facebook. Trina is a nurse at KCH and comes to Guatemala with Hands of Hope three times a year. Consequently, Trina has many friends here in Guatemala including the aunt of Sarah's boyfriend who is a missionary living in Guatemala City.

One of our other team members, Gloria, lives across Oswego from us and is in a Bible study with Steve's mom.

I am the doctor for Jonathan's girlfriend's grandmother.

Tonight however, my head really spun around when the brother of one of my high school classmates walked in during our after-dinner meeting. Also, a "HOH junkie," he was here for a few days working to get fresh, clean water to one of the nearby villages - a project that arose from a previous trip with HOH.
