We made it!

Today we traveled for close to 4 hours to reach Salama. We saw some damage to the roads from landslides. It made for an interesting ride.   At one point we almost ran over a man on a motorcycle, smashed by a diesel & driving on the wrong side of the road for long periods at a time.  This afternoon and evening we were able to attend and serve a Pastor’s reception. The pastors came in from areas all around Salama & do not have opportunities like this often.  Paul, one of our pastors at C Life gave a sermon (with a translators help) and we sang songs and listened to other pastors speak (in Spanish and some in Chi (a mayan language). I was completely lost.  I recognized a word or two every once in a while.   It was amazing though. I could feel God’s presence in the building.  It was absolutely amazing.  After the message, we served the pastors dinner.  The pastors and their wives were so thankful. To show their appreciation for what we are doing here in Guatemala, they brought out an American Flag and the main pastor sang us a song in English as well as prayed for us.

The Big Day

Well tomorrow is the big day. I am super excited to see what all God has in store for me on this trip. Last year God showed me that everyone’s story is important and that He will use mine in some way.  I will do my very best to post something each evening. I hope you are able to follow along this wonderful journey with me.  Please pray for me, my family at home, the group and the people that we come in contact with.  Next Wednesday, I will be leading a group of children in making a bracelet that teaches the children the gospel.  Of course, I will have a translator since no hablo espanol!  I will return home next Friday.  I will post pictures as soon as I can.
