Utah Humanitariuns Killed In Plane Crash in Guatemala

Many of you may know that Travis used to work for Focus in Ogden and that I currently have a very part-time, at-home job with them. The company has made it a yearly effort to raise money and take a Humanitariun trip to Guatemala to help people in need. I think it's inspiring to see an entire company, executives and agents, to come together and give a HUGE amount of time and effort for an awesome cause. Unfortunately, this year's trip did not end as expected. A plane they were on in Guatemala crashed and killed 10 people. 4 of them were from Focus, 2 of them from Focus in Utah and 2 from Focus in the Midwest. It rips my heart out to think of the families that had to hear the news that they had lost a member of their family. I know at least one person left behind a wife and little kids. It's a tragedy that reminds me how fragile life is. That one day, one close to you could be taken so quickly. The families and those close to these people are certainly in my prayers. I hope that those mourning the loss of their loved ones feel the strength of everyone's prayers and comforting hand of a loving Heavenly Father who reminds us that this is not the end and they will see and be together with them again.
