Being Guatemalan

Not really... but... I've had quite a bit of new experiences... which I'm LOVING!


- Rode a tuk-tuk
- Watched a pig butchering
- Carried a basket of laundry up a hill, on my head
- Made earrings
- Walked the streets of another country, by myself
- Ordered food, by myself, in spanish
- Climbed a mountain... and blacked out...
- Injected a cow with medicine
- Vaccinated some chickens
- Watched the castrations of pigs and cows
- Helped wash clothes in a river


More to come... !

Guatemala Transformation

Welp... I think it's inevitable. God will transform me this summer. I just need to be open to His will, and I may not like everything God tells me, so I have prayer requests:


-That God will prepare my heart
-That I will be concious of what God has in store for me
-Willing to change
-Willing to be uncomfortable
-Willing to step out of my box
-To love
-To put others before myself at all times
-To be a servant
-To be open
-To see Central America in new eyes
-To be blessed
-Safety
-Vulnerable
-To learn

Thank you, I appreciate the prayers.

My God is so real and alive and living within and around me.
God is so good... He's on fire.
