I feel like I have experienced a WIDE range of emotions and things in the past 2 months in Guatemala. I have been caught up in incredible spaces of worship. I have wept and rejoiced with the Lord in new ways. I hiked and stayed overnight on a dormant volcano and watched the active volcano next to it erupt all night long. I spent many nights and mornings cuddled up next to the toilet (TMI??) – which ended up being a parasite that I had for over 40 days and ended up in the hospital for overnight treatment lol. I have felt that I never want to leave Guatemala, and then I have felt that I want to go home right now and never look back. I have drank more coffee and eaten more banana bread here than I have in my entire life. I have felt so happy, so close, and so in love with the Lord, and then I have felt very upset with, forgotten by, and distant from Him. I have pressed into the pains and beauty of living in community. I have seen more dogs roaming the streets than I can count. I have loved on and been loved by countless kiddos. I have fumbled along in learning how to communicate in Spanish. I learned how to hand make tortillas from start to finish. And the list could go on and on.
It has been a rollercoaster of events and feelings here in Guatemala. But above all, it has truly been a gift from Abba. Thankful for the highs, lows, and all the in between. I am forever changed by my time here in Guate, thanks God.
Here are some pictures from the last 2 months:
