Hello Everyone!
In just a few days, early on Feb. 14th, we will be taking off for Guatemala! I (Rachel) will be updating you on what’s happening, ways you can pray for us, and the ways God will be at work while we are gone. Our team has been hard at work the last few weeks preparing and planning for what we will be doing in Guatemala. Below I am posting a daily overview of the week/prayer guide to help you know what will be going on each day and how you can specifically pray for us! Our greatest prayer is that God's will would be done in us and all the people we meet. Prayer is so important, so powerful, and we are so thankful for your prayers!
