Life is Beautiful

On Saturday morning I had the opportunity to do something extreme, and rather out of character, that I had never done before… motorcycling and dirt biking (Uncle Kenny, Kyle, and Grant… I know you guys won’t believe me until I put up pictures, so be patient)! Anyways… three of my teammates and I rode with members of the church for a morning of fellowship. For over three hours, on an absolutely beautiful day, we rode around Lake Atitlán and I am convinced that I got the best view of Guatemala! The morning was a wonderful time of...

On Monday, we went to the dump to talk to people, pray with them, and invite them to a program the following day. The next morning we spent several hours preparing for the event: buying a piñata, cookies and juice for the kids, rice and beans for the families, a couple pairs of boots, collecting clothes, and planning the program. As we sat in the van, heading to the dump on Tuesday, we had absolutely no idea of what to expect. God worked in a huge way! Let me try to paint this picture for you. As we pulled into the entrance of the dump, an hour late, crowds of children and...

On Friday we visited the nursing home in Puerto Barrios again. After such a long morning I was spiritually drained and my joy was nowhere to be found. But for about a week the Lord had been putting a lady there on my heart: I don’t know her name or her story but I know that the Lord loves her, and as my sister I care about her well being. She has some problem that has caused extreme infection in both of her ankles- bone, tissue, and veins are exposed. The spirit had been prompting me to pray with this lady for healing. How humbling it was that even when I have no joy and no...

"Say what?" — my go to reaction for any and every situation. When we got up to go visit with women–normal women looking for a way to provide for their families–in prostitution, when we went to a hospital in Solola with 6 beds to a room and all (I mean ALL) of their families were around them, when I saw little kids fighting sickness in a dark blue room painted with some kind of green swirl as if that was to help soften the blow of the situation, when I realized that I couldn´t keep people at arm´s distance, but need to let my heart break with...

Is your life in the dumps?

Last weekend my team and I were giving the opportunity to go out to Guatemala City for a weekend and do a lot of outreach. We got to go to a rehab center, a nursing home, and two dump sites. God worked in every place we went to. Not only did he work through us but he strengthened our faith in him by showing us things we have never seen before. God really blew my mind last weekend at the dump and I’m just in awe of how great He is! Arriving to the dumps I just felt discouraged about the oppression that was felt. I also got discouraged from not knowing what I would be saying to...
