Well, as you know, I've been in Guatemala for the last few weeks.  I feel like we shared in God's Glory.  The Heavens are definitely singing his praises there in Satiago Atitlan, the rocks were crying out there, and for 10 days we got to join in with them. 

We partnered with a host church there and had the opportunity to minister to alot of people.  We visited over 60 homes and shared the gospel or just an encouragement and a prayer.  We also ministered to a lot of kids.  We did a VBS for over 50 kids every day but we also had an improptu VBS with probably about 80 kids in a different location.  Many of the kids that we worked with were affected by a hurricane 2 years ago.  Over 600 people were killed as a mudslide came crashing down this volcano at about 2 am in the morning.  This is amazing to me as the area that was affected was so much smaller than New Orleans and the number was still half the number that was killed in New Orleans.  Amazing the resources that we have can save so many lives!

Also, our team of 52 built a home for a family that lost theirs in this mudslide.  That was really a blessing, not only for the family but also for us to see this start from nothing and be completed in just 5 days. 

For me, this trip was hard, and part of me was very ready to come home but God is faithful and blessed me through this trip.  Seems like an elementary thing to remember but God just reminded me that he knows all my worries and has got everything taken care of.  I could have made myself very nervous before leaving, because I had no idea what to expect.  I had never been to Guatemala and I knew no one that would be there.  I just had to trust that everyone would do as they said and people would follow through with their commitments to translate, pick me up, host our team, cook for 52 people, and so much more!  God took all my worries and gave me peace.  I cast all my worries on him and he is trustworthy and he revealed himself through all of these things!   Thank you so much for your prayers and for being a part of the blessings that God poured into my life this week.  I wish you could have seen God's beauty in that place!
