Today was a different day for us that was full of new experiences. Since the team has been pushing pretty hard, we were able to have an extra hour of rest this morning before heading down to the ministry center for breakfast and morning devotions. We started our day with a bit of camp prep since today was our first day of camp with the Limones kids. Our team has not only been doing mission training all summer long, where…
Today I woke up thinking about our church family worshipping back at Wildwood, our Mission Atlanta team worshipping and serving in Atlanta and the fact that we are here serving (and the actual worship service came later) here in Guatemala. So, we started our day after our breakfast and morning devotionals by heading out to work. We divided out a few to form another team that tackled a few projects at the ministry center. One was a lighting project and…
Since today was Saturday, we were scheduled to work construction only a half-day, but that meant and even earlier start to the day so we could get a good amount of work in. It is pretty amazing how hard this team is working – on their summer break – and considering we were up and ready by 6:30am (Note to parents: they are obviously capable and willing – Ha!).

And it has been a blessing to be invited into this ministry to get to…

We started early and headed down the mountain to have breakfast and then a tour of the ministry center. It is an amazing facility that houses the feeding program, education, recreation and even a medical clinic. From there, we loaded up the back of the truck (how we travel in…
There isn’t too much to say today regarding our first day here as it was a full day of travel… that started early (like 4 am early) and ended late (like arriving to our facility at 8 pm or 10 pm on our body clock time). So needless to say we are tired. We had two flights and then about 5 hours of driving from Guatemala City to Gualan, where we will stay and serve this mission. All in all,…
