I had a great time in Guatelmala! Thank you so much to those of you who were a part of my trip. I fell in love with the country and with the people while there, and I especially enjoyed our times of ministry with the kids.

We stayed in a beautiful part of Guatemala near Lake Atitlan overlooking a volcanic mountain. From there we traveled to various nearby towns to work with children.

Since it was during the school year we were able to do our programs right in the schools. I really enjoyed working with the kids. My main role was running soccer games, which I had a great time doing. I met a lot of cute kids and discovered that I could communicate with them in Spanish better than I expected!

We also did a lot of prayer walks, letting God lead us in prayer and also, at times, in conversations with the local people, and we ministered on the radio. Each of our team shared something. I shared a scripture.

During our free time, I got to climb a volcano, and also zipline down a mountain. Another part of each day was our devotion and team time. I had a great team leader. He had been a missionary in Guatemala for many years, and is now semi-retired. He served as a grandpa for the team. In fact, his grandson was also one of our leaders. I learned a lot from him during my time there.

And here is a video. It will give you a good feel for Guatemala and our whole trip.
So that's my trip. Thanks again so much! It definitely affected my life for the good, and we also did some great work in the lives of the people there.
