So here I am in Antigua sitting in my hostel and it has yet to sink in that I am officially on The World Race, weird. Ten months ago I never thought this day was going to come now I am here and it doesn’t seem real to me. So if you follow my blogs you read that at training camp we had to give up all of our expectations.
Well we were reminded of that as soon as we got to Guatemala. We loaded three busloads of packs, book bags, pillows and any extra belongings we have; tied them to the top of a van and pilled twelve people into a van. I learned not to have expectations about anything because they will all be wrong.
We lost squad mates I just figured that meant that we would all keep our teams they just might be less one or two people now. Nope after we get settled in we had our first meeting and surprise.. teams were changing. I won’t lie I said to God I cannot handle this right now, I love my team and emotionally
I don’t want to be without them. Praise God CRASH of LOVE didn’t change and we will still be together for the next couple months keeping each other strong and doing ministry together. Yay such a relief.
Next I am in a hostel, not a tent crazy and I have internet not what I was expecting at all expect the worse and things can only get better but I must admit never in my life did I ever picture myself in a hostel but its so cute. Guatemala is beautiful!!
Biggest surprise… I flew in from LAX and had a layover in El Salvador then flew to Guatemala. No big deal we knew that was going to happen. Well after a great lunch with my team and starting a blog about not having expectations but not finishing it I learned I truly can’t. I expected to be in Guatemala for a month well guess what, I am only here till Wednesday. Wednesday my team and I will be taking a classy bus to El Salvador where we will be staying for a month, in a church working in an orphanage, with teen challenge a global organization to help kids break free of addiction so they come here or the many others for rehab, cooking food, leading teen studies, and helping in the church. To be honest I couldn’t of asked for a better month and I am so excited to see what God will be doing in this month so please keep us in your prayers and the kids, orphans , people at the church, and our contact Ricardo.
