Awesome

We have officially finished our first week of Guatemala and I have absolutely loved it! Before we flew down to Guatemala, we spent four days at Training Camp on the Toccoa Falls Campus. We spent that time getting to know our team, learning about the culture we were about to live in, and drawing closer to God through worship and Bible studies. I have absolutely loved getting to know everybody on my team! I had no idea I could love and grow close to a group of people so quickly. The days we have spent in Guatemala have been incredible! We visited some of the ministries that we will be...

So I've been with my team for a week and already I feel like a different person. The Lord has taught me so much about Himself and how much He loves His children. The hardest thing I've done so far on the trip is definitely working at the hospital for adults and children with cerebral palsy. The first day we worked there we were invited to "pray" with the patients. We helped walk some of the adult women to the men's area where a catholic priest walked around touching their hands as they (or at least the people who were able to) responded to...

Day three in Guatemala was amazing! We began our day in a hospital in Antigua that cares for men, women, and children with cerebral palsy. We’d been there before with our Spanish-speaking contact, but today we went alone. So I was called on to translate during our entire tour of the hospital! I was both nervous and excited to take that on; thankfully I understood basically everything and was able to translate effectively! We turned a couple...

Hello Everyone! Team Guatemala is safe and sound in the beautiful city of Guatemala! Our amazing contact Luis picked us up from the airport and has been showing us around our new home. We've been spending the afternoon settling in and getting to know out surroundings. We will soon be posting more blogs about our time here. 🙂 – Team Guatemala Leaders Roni and Mark 🙂

Happy Birthday to me

Today, on May 5th, was my 19th birthday. It is also my last day in Guatemala. So, it is time to tip my hat to this season, and invite the next one in like an old friend. What this season has shown me is that love is a choice. Love is something Christ knew so well. Christ was the embodiment of love, and He made sure to teach that to the people He met. So, what are we doing? Besides that, what am I doing? When people are around me, do I love them like Christ? Do they feel the love of God? Do they feel a general tie to my spirit? These are questions I ask myself while...
