This is my last post, as Lorelei, Lindy, Mackenzie and I all made it safely back to MSP last night around midnight. Joyce, Linda, Amy, and Connie dropped us off at the airport and then went on with Bridge Builders for another week of service in a different part of Guatemala. Please pray for energy and safety for them!
Our last day was a free day in Antigua to debrief as a team, have some time to process things, and have a little fun wandering the city. We had to say goodbye to the ministry team after breakfast, as they had to get back to Sumpango. While we were sad to say goodbye to them, the day was full of good conversations, amazing Guatemalan food, and lots of laughs! It was a blessing to have a day to relax after a very busy, but awesome week!
At supper on Friday night, we shared what some of our favorite moments from the week were, and I thought it would be fun to share them with you as well!
Lindy: The home visits, hanging out with the kids during the Healthy Families classes, and the foot washing
Mackenzie: The VBS in the woods and home visits
Lorelei: Having the opportunity to wash the feet of the ministry team and the home visits.
Linda: How loving the people were, VBS in the woods and seeing how the nuns gave up everything to care for the kids at the orphanage.
Amy: the VBS in the woods, and lunch with the teachers.
Rachel: The lunch with the teachers, spending time with the kids at church, and building relationships with those in the community.
Joyce: Seeing God work out the connections for the speaker at the retreat, and the kids hugs.
Connie: The foot washing, and holding the baby at the orphanage.
Thank you all so much for your prayers, and please continue to keep the ministry team in your prayers as they continue to serve in Sumpango.
Adios!
