We are living in an oasis. Seriously, to be in the biggest tourist city in Guatemala is nothing short of breath taking. As I wake up in the morning, I can look up and see mountains and volcanoes. It is absolutely unreal.
This month our team has been incredibly blessed with staying in a local hostel in Antigua. We have showers as well as BEDS to sleep in. Feeling a little spoiled here.
Our food budget for the 7 of us is around $20 a day, which is usually much more than we can use and eat. Fresh vegetables are the cheapest I’ve ever seen them. Too many veggies for me to carry alone rang in at around $3.50 USD.
We are working with three different ministries this month.
1. The Grandpa House (nursing home)
2. A local hospital with kids with cerebral palsy
3. Teaching and evangelizing in local Guatemalan schools
So far, we have only been able to work at the first two locations, we will start at the schools next week.
I have fallen head over heels in love with some of the people at the grandpa house and some of the kids in the hospital.
Our team is bonding so much already and we have only been together for a little over a week. I cannot wait to see what God is going to do in and through us this month.
Another blog coming soon with some stories from the ministries, but until then:
Much Love from Guatemala
