It’s been wonderful just to be here in Antigua, a beautiful town with cobblestone streets that is surrounded by volcanoes. It has been fun climbing a beautiful Volcano and roasting marshmellows in the lava, getting food from the market, talking to people in coffee shops, racing through the city on 4th of July doing a scavenger hunt, dancing through the streets, praying with people in the square, listening to people’s stories, live music in the park, singing to God with the October squad, sessions learning from wise world race staff, and just enjoying God’s beautiful creation. The beautiful mountains, volcanoes, stars, water, sunsets, and clouds never cease to amaze me.
One of the teams picked up these two guys, Ryan and Josiah, who have an incredible story. They have been traveling with us and encouraging us and showing us a life truly and fully dependent on God. It has been awesome being with the whole squad again. Everyone has different gifts and it is so beautiful to see us all working together. I’ve really enjoyed the time just hanging out around our hostel and walking through the streets. Antigua is beautiful and God used this time to love on me and use me to minister to the hurting people all around. Also, God has allowed me to experience the flawlessness of a chocolate chip cookie and the most amazing crepe with nutella+ chocolate ice cream. Thank you God for letting me run free with you this week!!!!

We are heading through El Salvador to Nicaragua. We will be ministering in Leon, Nicaragua with inner-city youth and doing construction. Continue to pray for safety, health, our teams, and the people around. Thanks!!
I was really encouraged by this from God’s word:
And since we have a great High Priest who rules over God’s house, let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting Him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water. Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep His promise. -Hebrews 10:21-23
