My parents and our nephew left this morning after coming to Granada and spending a week with us. It was an incredible time to catch up, laugh and play together.

We took them on a whirlwind tour of Granada and the surrounding areas. From active volcanoes, markets, beautiful lookouts, an island boat tour (with MONKEYS), swimming at the laguna (aka – a giant swimming hole in the top of an old volcano) to watching them become friends with our wonderful roommates, their time (although it seemed too short) with us was very refreshing.

In addition to site seeing, we also introduced them to some of the ministries that we are involved with. We tagged along with our friends as they handed out new work boots to the dozens of people that work in the city dump just outside of Granada.

While here my parents had the amazing opportunity (thanks also to some big hearts back home) to not only bless a family that we work with and also send a guy to rehab with a bag of toiletries – but leave funding for future needs that we come across.

Their visit was full of adventure to say the least. From getting lost in a town with a 12 foot tree in the trunk of a Toyota Yaris to getting pulled over by the cops and getting hustled for $10 (or $5 if Bekah had her way) we had a blast learning the ins and outs of new journeys with our loved ones in the car with us.
