In addition to Guatemala, they love visiting new cities in the U.S., anywhere in Europe, and most recently Puerto Rico! This will be their fifth trip to Guatemala, and they are really looking forward to seeing old friends, spending time with the children in the villages, and sharing their love for Central America with the other people on the Guat '11 team.

  • KaceyThis will be Kacey's second trip to Guatemala; she was on the 2010 team last year. She rides reining horse and loves animals, especially Kitty (her horse) and Tucker (her puppy).  She feels a call for missions can't wait to see what God has planned for her life and this trip. She says, "Last year when I left Guat I felt like I left a piece of my heart there.  I can't wait to go back and grow deeper in a relationship with Him."
