There is so much I could say about this week… I've laughed. I've cried. I've been numb. I've wanted to come home (but only for like 5 min). Life in Guatemala is beautiful. My entire Squad of 56 people are living at one place. It is a hospital/ministry called Agape in Action (you should check it out on Facebook).
My current ministry is working at a Government run Day Care/ Afterschool Program. The kids are super precious! I love working with them. There are babies to 12 years old kids. I work with the 7 to 12 year olds, they are amazing! We work on homework, and play games. They are so precious and I love them. Please pray for them, that they would see Jesus in us and feel Christ love. The internet is slow so no pics today. I'm trying to upload some to Facebook but the internet is slow.
This week has been amazing! Spiritually it has been overwhelming. At the beginning of the week I felt numb and overwhelmed by leaving and really wondering what I was getting into. I also felt a little distant from God, honestly. I think it was mostly because I was trying to separate myself from what was happening. Also, I was fighting with Him because we were having a night of confession and I didn't want to participate. Those of you who know me know I hate baring my feelings and soul are seriously not what I like to do. So the first night of this… I did not participate. The second night I realized I needed to speak up, so I did. It was amazing and so freeing. Trusting my team and squad with my thoughts and feelings was really hard but so beautiful. What is so amazing about our God is He takes the broken things and makes them beautiful!! 🙂
This week has been a huge blessing. I know that I'm learning to trust God in new and amazing ways! 🙂 Please continue to pray for my team, my Squad, my health. Pray that I get super natural rest and so does the rest of my team!
