nada es imposible

On the Field

“Nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20 In these two weeks of being on the field so far, God is already doing some serious work in my heart. It’s amazing what happens when you take 20 people with different stories, different hearts, desires, passions, scars, and victories. Every one of us has a lot to let go of, and a lot to learn. We all have so much to discover, and so much to step into. And the cool thing is, we will always have more to learn, and more to understand. Something I have been learning for a long time now is to let go of my desire to be in...

Hola!! I have been in Guatemala for almost 2 weeks! Wow! Since I posted last week, a lot has happened as far as ministry goes. So much that I forget a lot of it! But this week we got to go to the garbage dump for the first time. Pastor Roni (who is the pastor we are working with) said around 75 families live and work there. They collect the recyclables and get paid for it. It is so sad. Lots of the children don't go to school because they have to work to earn money for their families. The first time we went there we just walked around and invited the kids to an event on Thursday that we...

Daniela y Yo This week was busier with ministry and it was so amazing to see God working through each activity. Park Ministry: At the park we strengthened friendships we made last week with the people that were saved last week. Dump Ministry: This was our first visit to the dump and we were just simply going around telling them about an activity for children we were hosting on Thursday. Also, we would ask them for prayer requests and pray over them. There was one lady who was standing off to the side and she came right up next to me in the middle of the prayer...

We're almost two weeks into being on the field in Guatemala. Things started off pretty slow with ministry but have started to pick up. The past few days have been my favorite. We went to an orphanage on Thursday where we got to hold the cutest babies and learn more about the work we will get to be doing there in the weeks to come. Yesterday we went to the bars and witnessed to the prostitutes. For some reason I wasn't really affected by it, I thought I was going to be upset and angry, but it's only by the grace of God I walked out of the bars with a smile on my face. I just know...

Things I have done in Guatemala:

Washed my clothes using a pila (multi-purpose sink). There are few things more satisfying than washing your own clothes by hand using a bucket and a bar of soap. Taught a hula to a group of girls on my team. It was such a cool experience to share this aspect of my culture with my friends! Especially because in many churches in Guatemala, dancing is considered a sin. I felt like our hula was alive with the aloha of the islands which I have come to know and love and really served as a testament to the beauty of this form of worship. The girls I taught were such good sports and very...

I feel like this is where I belong…not specifically here in Guatemala but overseas missions. I LOVE every ounce of it. Like seriously. I love meeting new people. I love learning their culture and language. I love serving with everything I have. I love being so broken only God can fill me. I love annoying itchy mosquito bites. I love having bland rice and beans with every meal. I love having little Guatemalan babies kiss me and ask me to come play with them again. I love when their parents want to get to know me. I love being the crazy christian gringos. I love being so homesick...
