Christina! Hope you’re feeling okay. I just looked at the first day pictures and you had the same look on your face as when you had calamari (squid) for the first time with us. Have a wonderful time and it’s so nice to see the pictures of all of you especially with all the kids.
Sounds like your family is missing you, but will probably have lots for you to do when you return.
Have a great time and hope you’re getting lots of rest, good food and good water – make sure you’re washing your hands lots too!!
Love ya,
Mrs. B.

hey-
we just got back from our 2nd building day. we stuccoed for half of the day and then played with the kids for the rest. it rained today but thankfully the stucco stayed on so we didn’t have to do it over- the second half of the day it turned out to be really nice though so we could play with the kids. as we ready to leave a little boy ran infront of the van and got hit. anyways, hope all is going well…can’t wait to see you
Teener bopper, How are you liking Guatemala? I’m sure this won’t be your last time back there. Carrot. I’m just sitting here in my cage thinking about you. Lettuce. Oh where are Porter Street’s grandkids?! Wait, where’s Porter Street?! Pellets. Are there any bunnies in Guatemala?
Love, Lucy Tusie
aka. Fruce
Hey Cistern, how is Guatemala? Do you like your small group? You haven’t gotten sick yet I hope. Invest in some pepto around the clock 🙂 Anyways, we hope the weather is nice there and that you’re getting all of the building finished. Aren’t the kids there so cute? We went to visit GG today and there were two adopted Guatemala babies at the pool so we thought of how much fun you’re probably having with them. Remember to bring one home on July 3! Anyways, hope you’re having a great time! Stay safe. We love you!
Rachel
Tina, hope you’re having a great time in Guatemala! Maybe you could take me back one of these years. I’m sure our house would be the best! Maid of honor?
Matt
Just changing some oil. Hi! By!
Hi Christina. Grandma loves you. Hope you’re having fun. Much love. Grandma
Sister! Mom, Rachel, and I were just reading your post! So good to hear from you. But we feel really bad about the little boy…we’ll remember to keep him in our prayers as well. Did you like stuccoing? I always loved it! Speaking of that, I painted the bookshelf in the garage today! It looks so pretty…I’ll do another coat tomorrow and then I’ll scratch it up. I got the day after the fourth off from babysitting so now I can be with you all day in holland! I’m so excited! Did i tell you that we got 2 more end tables from jared’s grandparents to paint and fix up? they are so beautiful! anyways, how do you like the food? I don’t even know why im asking you so many questions cause you never respond to them anyways!….its ok though, I know you don’t get much computer time. Love you lots cistern and I WILL be the FIRST one at the airport to see you! Much love and many prayers 🙂 p.s. i miss grabbing your feet when you run up the stairs…hehe Love you
Dearest Christina

Christina! Just thought I would write to you before I leave for Jayne’s wedding…hope all is well with you and that you haven’t gotten sick. We all miss you (especially Elizabeth and tex). Love you
Christina,
Here’s #60 response. I think you’re in the lead – haven’t checked all of the sights yet, but so far what I’ve seen you’re in the lead!! A special thanks to all your sisters who are bored – man, I wish I had the internet when I used to work!! Hope you are having a wonderful time and tolerating all the unique situations (mainly the bathrooms mentioned by Jared and Elizabeth). Give Kelly a hug for me – we miss all of you terribly. Looking forward to all the wonderful stories and pictures you’ll have when you return. You’ll have to come up to the cottage with Kelly so we can hear yours as well – that is if your family will let you go after being gone for a week!!
Take care and we are so proud of what you are doing for the Lord and for these people!
Love you lots!
Jodi
hey
it is saturday, day five and we are just about ready to leave for a new village….that is 3 hrs away :-(. booty sarah sounds like you having fun at work- and eliz. we painted the houses “orange” on he outside and pink on the inside. we let the kids decorate ours with their hands and it turned out to be a mess- some of them just started painting on the wall in random places and they were spilling paint..but the family still liked it. yesterday our team went to visit the boy who’s leg was run over…we gave him a soccer ball and alot of candy. we also dedicated the houses yesterday….our family had 12 kids+2 parents. the family was so happy when we started handing out clothes, toys, blankets, food, etc… Last night we had a fiesta with the kids and it was so much fun. we played games with them, handed out candy and we gave them a pinata(they loved it). the food here is disgusting…but everyone else loves it. Many people are starting to get sick…including kevin. o and elizabeth, no i didn’t see the girls you wanted me to get a picture of but i an trying to take alot of other pictures….the babies down here are so cute and i love holding them…i have taken so many pictures with them(eliz. you will probably recogniz them)…well i have to go do devotions so i will try to talk to you later.
christina…so good to hear from you! I can just imagine how much fun you had at the fiesta…i remember all of ours! The pinata was always the most fun part! I’m glad you’re having fun and that you aren’t sick! The orange on the inside of the house sounds cool-that’s also neat that the little kids helped paint the inside…im sure they just loved doing that…when we did our house we gave the kdis crayons to color on the walls with and they had never seen crayons before so they went crazy! I’m with ya on the food…didn’t like it myself but hopefully you have enough snack with you. Love you cisterna and can’t wait to hear all about it tuesday night!
Christina:
I was your sister’s prayer partner, and now I get to pray for you too. It was awesome to read about the amazing things that happened at the dedication of the houses and at the fiesta! I can’t wait to see the pictures…I spend a lot of time looking at each one–the faces of the little children and of all you guys. The love and the smiles show how God is truly using the team to spread His love.
From Luke 10:37-37 (The Parable of the Good Samaritan)
“Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
Have a wonderful day showing mercy to your neighbors in Guatemala. A quote from Mr. Rogers seems appropriate here: “Have a lovely day in the neighborhood.”
Love and prayers,
The Dooleys
everyone is sick..they are dropping like flies. 6 out of the 8 ppl in my room are sick.
Christina! How did you house turn out? Did you get all the walls up? I’m sure it looked good…and the orange color sounds cool! cya soon
christina im just leaving to go to matt’s condo cause its all been painted…can’t wait… sorry to hear that a lot of people are sick..but you aren’t, right?!?! at least i hope not…we’ll keep praying that the others start to feel better…i know you are going to have a fun day today with all the little kids at the village…and tomorrow will be the same set-up but just a different village..and that’s so exciting cause each village is totally different. I’m so glad that you’re having fun with the little kids…i miss them just thinking about it! love you
p.s. do the little kids think you are really tall? you’re prolly much taller than the men there too-hehe…find a boyfriend yet? you can bring someone home, but preferably a baby or a few kids!
p.p.s. i still miss you! come home soon! 3 DAYS…3 DAYS…3 DAYS! your bag better be filled with babies for me 🙂

Christina – glad to hear you are having an awesome time in Guat! and that you haven’t gotten sick yet! We will pray that you don’t for the remainder of your time there 🙂 Your family had 12 kids – Holy COW!! that is a houseful! I don’t even know how Tim and I are going to handle the one we have on the way 🙂 well I am so glad to hear that everything is going well and I hope that you are really feeling the power of the Holy Spirit working through you as you witness to all of these people.

Dear Christina, Mom and I are just sitting here looking at your updates before church this morning. Mom just finished her walk and said lots of prayers for you and the whole group. Hope everyone is healthy and having fun. We’re going to GG Weller’s for lunch today…and having red cake for Matt’s birthday. Maybe we can save you a piece. You’re coming home in three days! We will be at the airport waiting for you!! Love and kisses 🙂
Ray, M, and D.
Cistern, Matt’s condo is finished and you should see it! It looks so nice but we need your decorating touch soon 🙂 Maybe bring some colorful blankets home from Guatemala…haha.
Love you!
Rachel
Dad wants to tell you that he got a new “memory pillow” that he slept on last night. Dad misses you and says that your car is sitting too quiet in the garage…so I took it for a nice 50 mile spin…(j/k!) Tex is sitting by the back door too this morning looking for you to take him for a walk walk. Love D.
Dear Christina,
The house/dedication/family pics were awesome! It has been so much fun watching slabs of cement turn into actual houses! Five houses are now no longer just houses – each has now become a HOME!! Please be assured of our continued thoughts and prayers as you serve God and show His love in so many different ways. Stay safe, healthy, cool, and strong. And keep smiling – those smiles are absolutely contagious!! No volcanoes here, but there was a beautiful full moon in the Michigan sky last night – what an awesome reminder of our great God! Our love to all, Beth Vanden Bosch (and the rest of the V.B.’s)

Hi Christina,
Hope you’re still staying healthy. We’ve been constantly praying that no more get sick. Love all the pictures of you with the kids – they look like they absolutely love you, but then who wouldn’t!!! Take care, keep healthy, get plenty of rest and keep giving those kids lots of hugs and kisses from us!
Love ya!
Jodi Berens
Hey, Christina!
I was just looking over this site and saw your name, so I thought I’d say Hola! (I learned that from Dora the Explorer). I’m sure your beautiful smile is brightening those wonderful kids’ days–just as you did for Sydney and Jackson. We are praying for you!
TINA I MISS YOU!!!
Hope you are having a great time!!
When do you come home? I can’t wait to see you!!
