Hi everyone!
This year I am so blessed to be going back to Guatemala, and this year a very special
someone is coming with me. Can you guess? My Mom! I am so excited for her to be
able to come with me and see this wonderful country and meet these amazing
people I have gotten to know the last 2 years. Every year has been so awesome
and God has shown up every year and every year the team is so great and work
together so well. This team that goes really is like a family (mainly because
it is my family J ). My grandparents lead the trip for their church every year and have
been going for the last 6 years. My aunt and uncle have also been going for two
to three years, and we were joined by another aunt and uncle of mine last year.
A good friend of the family who is an eye doctor has been going with my
grandparents for several years. And every year it is so excited to see the old
and the new and how God brings everyone together. I am so eager for my mom to
be going with us this year, it is going to be incredible!
We will be running an Eye
clinic, a Medical clinic and a construction team. The people there are
wonderful and it is really fun to go to all the different villages and see all
these new and beautiful places.
But the most
important thing for me is that I want to be a servant. The adventure is fun and
it is all so exciting but that is not why I go. Every year I pray God give me a
servant’s heart because you have blessed me greatly and I cannot give of money
or material things but I can give of my time and energy and most importantly of
my love. And that is the goal set we all have when we go to Guatemala God make
us servants to serve in anything and everything that You give us to do.
Thank you so much for
everyone who has supported me in the past. It truly blesses me so much. This
year if you would like to support my mom and I, you can send it to us at 12375
woodlake rd. 80106 Elbert Co or to my grandparents church at, Church on the Rock South Campus 10503 Slide
Road Lubbock, TX 79424. And if you cannot give in money we also need prayers,
so if you would lift us up in your prayers and pray that everyone will be safe
and that all of our luggage would arrive safely and that we will be Gods hands
and feet while we are there that would also bless us greatly.
Thank You
Yea! So excited for you both!
ReplyDeleteHosanna (16) and I are going to Guadalajara, Mexico in June (with 29 youth and parents from church). I am so excited to go with my daughter . . . as I know you are, as well.
Hugs to you all!
