This will be a travel and debrief blog for the end of my time in Honduras and beginning my new ministry in Guatemala. It has been quite a change of scenery coming from Honduras to Antigua Guatemala. The travel day was the longest travel days I had in my life possibly up to this point. We are now familiar with crossing borders and how time consuming it is so it will be apparent to fill that time with constructive things. It is a good humility and patience test.
I’m ready for the next ministry site because I’m afraid I might get too attached to this beautiful city. I could see myself living here but it might not be something from God. I discovered some things about myself which I need to encourage myself to change in a positive way that does not involve shame. I’m too much of a peacekeeper (when there is no peace) and not a peacemaker. It’s more a sin of omission than commission and my perception of reality is not what it should be in areas. This has a potential to be a negative effect on the team. I was filled with a new sense of awe about Creation and how God creates different natural phenomenon. I saw active volcanoes around Antigua and we hiked up a volcano and roasted s’mores from heat radiating through the ground around the volcano. Just feeling the heat from rocks on the ground made me marvel at nature.
