I personally had the pleasure of leading our Journey Team from my very own hometown!
We welcomed Journey team (Carlos, Oscar, Johnny and Dolly, Debra and Dawn) on March 28th - April 4th. Let me tell you - it was good times! Not only was it fun for me to talk on 'common ground' with people from back 'home' (parenthesis necessary because I call Guatemala home too), but it was a heart throbbing eye watering time! What moves my heart the most is when I see peoples tender hearts come to love the people of Guatemala with the love of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. This team was quite special. Learners. Good humor (Dawn, sorry about the bird dropping in your hair incident *wink*). Patience. Flexible. Adaptable. Each day they woke up with a genuine spirit about them ready to serve the family in El Rejon, Sumpango building a kitchen and stove...investing in the family and children around. Best of all - their heart to continue to partner with Hector and build a relationship with the people of El Rejon and to pray continually for this family. If I sum up their experience I remembering hearing a theme during their time here...."we came to serve and bless the people of Guatemala, and we did, but we received and were blessed way beyond what we gave". Praise our Papito Dios!
Here's some of the men digging holes - beginning the process of kitchen makin' - and cutie standing by watching!
Hangin' out in the old kitchen with the family as they made rice and carrots. I also had a few tortilla makin' lessons and I'll save myself the embarasement of showing you those photos!
