Hello fam, friends, and supporters!!!
As some of you may know we got to Antigua, Guatemala a little over a week ago and it has been so amazing!! With that- I mentioned in my last blog -we got new teams, so Sarah McClure and Julia Barker were added to my already team of 5 and we now go by the name Sol (which means Sunshine in Spanish).
We also got our new ministries and are now TWO days in!
And, drum roll please………..
We are teaching English again!!! I am so excited about this! If you have been keeping up with my journey through my blogs, you know how much I LOVED teaching in Cambodia!
Though it is different, and in my eyes, nothing will ever compare to Cambodia, it has been so good! I have a class of 9 5th graders and they are so fun!-Right around my brother Peyton’s age and I love it!
The language barrier is tough, but luckily I only teach my own lesson on Friday’s and the rest of the week I prepare little activities and am more like a teacher aid! It is so fun getting to know these kids and getting to ride the chicken buses to and from ministry!
(By chicken buses I mean retired school buses that are driven down to Central America and gutted and redone to be these gaudy, done-up buses that sit 3-4 people to a seat that are made for 2 people, not including the people standing in the isle, and drive 30 miles over the speed limit- SO FUN)-don’t worry parents, I’m 30% sure they are safe!
But really, its so amazing! Jesus is teaching me some amazing things about Himself and about myself. I have this new desire to have more of a radical faith and know Him deeper (there will be a blog coming soon for all the things, don’t worry!).
Plus freaking teaching again!!!! I am so pumped to work on my Spanish some and try the best I can to teach these kiddos some English! And not to mention, play with them, love on them, and show them Jesus!
Now, with all that being said we are at the end of my blog once again. And with that, we all know whats coming… my endless plug for fundraising and trying to get more supporters and donations. I know I know it can be annoying or frustrating when I put it in all the time, or if you have donated before- but please hear me out!
I have to have the rest of my money, $2,986 by January 29th… 12 DAYS!!! This is not impossible! The Lord wanted me on this trip in the first place and provided over $4,000 for that to happen in a week, and I know He wants me so stay, so I know He will provide the rest I need. So I am just asking you all to please pray about it and consider being apart of getting me to my last goal. And if you can’t help financially, please be in constant prayer, because prayer is such a powerful thing and the word says that anything asked in Jesus’ name will be done.
Well loves,
thank you all for reading and supporting! You all rock-much love!
