As I write this, Sarah is on her way home from an eight day trip to stay with Tita and visit friends in Guatemala City. It has been nearly a year already since we moved back from Guatemala to Norwood, OH. It was a hard decision, but we felt that we were called to come home and make others aware of what God is doing in Guatemala. We also felt that we could probably be more effective by trying to create a simple lifestyle that would enable us both to have extra margin to support Tita and other ministries in Guate, and have more time to take groups down to work and dream. It’s been a challenging year laying the foundation for such a lifestyle, but things finally feel like they are taking shape. We found a home, while a fixer-upper to say the least, that cost us less than 1/6 of what our last home did. My tattoo apprenticeship is beginning to pay the bills and gives us freedom to take off when I need to for groups and trips. In fact, the Mothers Tattoo crew I work with are hoping to take some trips down to do cover-up work on gang tattoos!
