They are like 8 and 14, and they are two boys that roam the neighborhoods to try to find work. We usually pay them to wash the car or shine our shoes, but they are not allowed in our house. I wouldn't allow them in my house in the states either, seeing as I have two little kids that would be at risk. They aren't like neighborhood kids whose parents you know. <br /><br />Also, even if we didn't have kids, we could wake up with our TV gone, our DVDs, and any other valuables that those kids could find! We have SO MUCH more than they do, it just isn't a good idea to invite them in to see just how much better we live than they do. I mean, most likely, they live in an adobe house with a tin room, dirt floors, and curtains strung up for doors. They might not have a bathroom in their house, and they for sure don't have a washer/dryer.<br /><br />Anyway, so that is the situation with the kids. Does that make sense? Maybe I should have put that in the original post.

Do you not know them well enough to stay over or is it unsafe to have kids stay at your house?<br /><br />Never been to Guatemala or really anywhere outside of the USA (except Canada and parts of Mexico). I am fascinated with your stories of living outside of the USA. You are a blessing to the ones around you. May God bless your family and your ministry!Michellenoreply@blogger.com
