So its been over 2 weeks in Guatemala. I don't even know how to put in to words everything we have been doing – today my friend pricilla posted a video that she made – snippets of what we have done so far and it blew my mind that we had done it all in one week!! Our days are very long and can be exhausting. we have 3 different things on daily. Here is some of my favourite things that we have done! Piling into a big white transit van with no windows or seats – we drive everywhere with the back doors wide open because of the heat! We have had some musical times in the van some awesome and some just really funny! Holding a girl at the orphanage until she fell asleep on my lap – all she wanted was someone to hold her and love her. Praying for a boy at the back of the children's hospital- he was lonely and shied away from all the other kids- when we approached him he didn't even look at us – i prayed for him not just his illness but that he would not sit himself alone!we left and I was standing in The corridor – he came running out and went to the toilet and ran back in he looked like a completely different boy! Going to the old folks home and seeing the joy in their faces because we had came to visit. The happiness in their faces brought joy to us all! I sat with a lady called maria she sat on her chair hunched over, she stares at the floor and doesn't communicate – i knelt down and started to pray . i Looked into her eyes as i prayed and she was smiling back at me – when i said amen she said amen!! It was a joy see 🙂 Going to minister to the prostitutes was difficult these women are broken, some have a guard up, some are the most friendliest women i have ever met. It breaks my heart that these beautiful women are working everyday in a job that they hate, a job that makes them feel worthless, a job that is killing the real women they are! My heart truly goes out to them because in their eyes they see no other option- most of them have kids that they need to support! Please pray for these ladies that they find christ and that they find new jobs! Going to the dump breaks my heart!! Seeing what families and kids are living in makes me so uneasy! These people are inspirational! They smile and laugh- it made me take a look at my own stinking attitude to some things! I am living like royalty compared to these kids! It truly made my heart melt! Going to hang out with the break dancing guys- my heart goes out to these talented young men and i pray deeply that they can be the new generation for Christ – they could change this city!! I long to connect more – sadly communication has been a barrier for me but luckily dancing is worldwide and we are able to " dance" with them haha at least we try to dance with them – mostly ends with them laughing at us :p Swimming in the waterfalls – some of the most incredible scenery i have ever been in! So refreshing and beautiful! Prayer walks- walking to the mountain top when i am feeling low and not in the mood to pray but i chose to pray until I get breakthrough ,coming back down from the mountain top and I feel like a new women!! God is amazing – thank God that He sent theHoly Spirit so we can have divine connection with Him!! The Beach- swimming in the warm ocean with the beautiful white sands, blue skies, palm trees haha ITS JANUARY!!!! Lol – do i really need to go any further into how awesome that is lol – I am Scottish!! It would never happen there haha Saying hello to everyone we meet 🙂 it brings joy to my life when I see the huge friendly smiles they give to us!! The people of Guatemala are truly beautiful! Please pray for puerto Barrios 🙂 with God all is possible including full cities being revived!!
