How did you learn about the trip and why did you decide
to go? After hearing the pastor talk about
missions, I looked into Wooddale's missions and saw the Guatemala one and it
stuck out too me and after the first intro meeting, God really confirmed this
trip for me!
What are you most excited about for the trip? To share my love for Jesus with others & show
the kids how much they are loved!
What are you most nervous about for the trip? That I won't want to come home :) [don't worry
mom]
Prior to this trip, where was your favorite place to
visit and why?
My grandparents house! I know its not exotic or a
beach, but every time I'm there, I feel happy and loved. I leave all
my stress and worry at the door! Im am so thankful for them!
If you had to change your occupation, what would you
choose and why? I would love to
be a camp counselor or a fitness instructor. Haha its hard to pick
between these too! Maybe I could do a fitness camp...
How can we pray for you on this trip? Safety & Energy :)

How did you learn about the trip and why did you decide
to go?
I learned about the trip through Wooddale church. My heart
has been drawn to this mission field for three years! I praise God that this
year, Lord willing, I will be able to go!
What are you most excited about for the trip?
To work for our Lord! I cant wait to show His love. I am
looking forward to fellowship with all the people in Guatemala and my team. I
am looking forward to growing in my faith and have my opened to a new people
group! I am so excited to see what God is going to do!
What are you most nervous about for the trip?
Getting sick or too exhausted. I have a chronic illness
that at times can cause me to be quite ill and have low energy. I am also on a
medication that lowers my immune system so I am more susceptible to
illnesses.
If you could be friends with one fictional character,
who would you choose and why?
Hadassah from the Mark of the Lion trilogy by Francine
Rivers! She has an amazing unbreakable faith and a heart of gold!!
If you could have a super power, what would it be and
why?
To be in two places at once! I guess I have too many
people I want to see and too many things I want to do!
How can we pray for you on this trip?
Please pray for my health. Please also pray I hear the
Holy Spirits prompting and am not too scared to do what He asks. May my faith
be bigger than my fear!
Stay tuned to learn more about our team!

Our teams are hosting a free Guatemalan coffeehouse event at Matter More (formerly Hope for the City).

This is a fundraiser for the special project we will be working on with the local church in Guatemala on building healthy families. There will be live music, chair massages (for purchase in 10-minute increments), free coffee and treats, and Guatemalan gifts for sale. Matter More also has a poverty simulation on site that will be available to show the different faces of poverty around the world.
If you want more information, here is a link to the event blog: http://casitacafe.blogspot.com/2015/07/its-coming-soon-can-you-smell-coffee.html
