Funny fact of the week: I went around the markets telling people that I am a mercenary and that I would like to pray with them. The word for missionary is misionero and the word I said was misioneria which is close to mercenaria which is the word in Spanish for mercenary. That was quite funny and learning Spanish is an embarrassing but beautiful process.   This past couples of weeks has been amazing and my love for God and these people just continues to grow.

The longer I’m here, the more and more difficult it is for me to remember life before Guatemala and imagine life after Guatemala. My conception of time has stilled completely, like dust suspended in the thick Central American heat. I am here, and God is here, and that’s all I know and feel and want.

When we help her cook we mainly help her make the corn tortillas. We make the dough, roll the dough into small balls, and then we smoosh the dough in a tortilla maker, put...

To think it hasn't even been three weeks here in Guatemala, but God has already done amazing through us and through those around us who have touched our hearts. This week was full of lots of ministry and highlights throughout this week, it has definitely been eye opening and lots of fun especially the great memories to cherish and look back at with the amazing people I am with. My favorite thing by far of this whole trip was on wednesday. We had the great opportunity visit a school for kids with special needs. As soon as we...
