I am here! In beautiful Antigua, Guatemala! We could not have been more blessed this month. The city, the volcanoes, the free wifi, the freedom to cook and eat whatever we want (within budget of course) and the ministry we are doing is just amazing. The Lord has ushered us in to this new life gracefully that’s for sure. We have been working in a hospital with children who have cerebral palsy and in an “abuelo” house full of beautiful yet lonely grandmas and grandpas. All we have been asked to do is to love God’s people and be willing to grow both in community and in the Lord.
What I get to see everyday!
My besty Christina!!! She is wearing my purse and my sunglasses in this picture, she likes to steal my things and roll away 🙂
Juana Alonso, a beautiful sassy woman that I attempt to have conversations with in Spanish. Despite the barrier we are great friends and the Lord is at work.
Most of you know that I was assigned to be the team treasurer, despite the fact that I am currently in collections in the United States. Yikes but I am doing just fine with that responsibility. I lost 400q’s the first night which is around $60 but then found it the next morning…that has continued until a couple days ago JPraise the Lord I am getting the hang of it!
Thank you for your support and prayers. I honestly can’t even describe the blessings that I have been given. Being here, serving, and experiencing the power of God in foreign places is unreal. He is here. He has been here long before we got here, and He will still be here when we leave. I have been realizing this the past week especially. Meeting two volunteers that have given up everything because they fell in love with the children at the hospital, finding a coffee shop called The Refuge that is owned by Christians and even has a prayer room in the back where past world racers have left notes on the wall, and seeing His power in people and churches are just a few examples. I am humbled and honored that He is allowing me to work alongside Him and be His hands and feet. We all have the opportunity to be used by the Creator of all things. Crazy!
Love you guys, more to come! Sorry it has taken me so long to blog, it has only been a week and I feel like it’s been months J. I’ll get the hang of it though…
