Hey everyone!
Training camp has been quite the experience. We have done and learned so much. My teammates are wonderful. I cannot say enough good things about them. Every time someone asks for some guys to do something, the guys from the Guatemala team are the first to stand up and help. The girls are so caring and genuine. We make an amazing team. I love that we are from all over the states and all have different accents (Joel – who is also from Washington - said he could tell I was from up north because I had a more Canadian sound to my voice. =P ). We are all very anxious to fly out tomorrow (September 6th) morning for Guatemala! As much as I am not looking forward to fly, I am more at ease about it because I will be with this family (Please pray that I can actually sit next to one of them!).
Yesterday we learned a lot about hearing from God. We were given the “assignment” (if you will) to, as a team, paint a canvas of what our vision for Guatemala is. So we all sat in a circle and asked God for His vision. We then came together and painted the painting you see at the top of this post. (the first picture has a lot of my teammates in it, but not all.)
My relationship with the Lord is strengthening and I am very excited to see who I become through this process. I have found one person in particular that I have been able to confide in and I am so encouraged and blessed to have her with me on this team.
I’m excited to get to Guatemala and bust out my guitar! =D
Next time you hear from me, I’ll be in another country. =) We have been told that we will have internet access once a week, so I’ll try to keep you all posted. It may be vague, because the details are hard to articulate, but I will let you know what’s going on.
I love you all and miss you so much!
